I would say GTI if I was his age still, I hated my parents giving me a 1990 dodge caravan, and I put that damn thing into a ditch. second car was a 1988 bmw 535i that I loved to drive and it was safe.
Now at my age and me having kids soon. I would say drop your budget down a little, maybe not spend over 15k, get something relatively new but not new and make sure it's reliable.
I would look into a car that is maybe rwd but has traction control, and not too much power. Or AWD. FWD not so much...
