In 2000 I gave my son a 1994 Mazda Protege 4 dr sedan that had about 70KMs on it. It was the car he learned on, and it was a manual tranny (he drives a older Lexus SUV now which is auto, but he has always thanked me that I taught him to drive stick). The Protege lasted about 6 years with him, and he sold it to a friend who put a bunch more mileage on it.
That is the kind of car that a 16 year old should get as a first car, IMO. I won't worry too much about getting him something in the "enthusiast" catagory.
