It should be 4-door, 4-cyls, not sporty. I would prefer Honda or Toyota... First time drivers usually have much more expensive car insurance, and it depends from car. You should compare insurance rates while choosing the car - for example here - carinsurance.deep-ice.com

Well looks are in the eye of the beholder.As far as a good car,I bought a 98 ram 1500 w/ 152000 on it for 5000 it was a clean truck.And only repairs were ball joints,trany lines, exhust a wheel bearing and needed 2 tires due to ball joints.Runs like a champ.Look for something that has a paper trail. ie recipts for maintenance,repairs.Also do a title search.like carfax.If you can look at the title.make sure it's not a salvage title.With one of thows you don't know where that car has been.Set a appointment up with a trusted mechanic to give it a good inspection.Most will charge 40.00 or so to do it.If the sales rep won't let you do that stay away! High miles don't always mean its whiped.Just have it looked at. Good luck.My truck now has 175000 on it and lookin to get another 50000 out of it
