Good Car for Teenagers?

My daughter just turned 16 and wants a car So I am thinking about picking up something for her to learn to drive on. What car would you get? Trying to pick-up something for under $10k.

Maybe a 2-3 year old Honda Civic? Reliable, safe... perfect car for a teenager to learn how to drive.

Honda Prelude 97-up . Just don't get the auto trans- many problems with it. Whatever the car model is, get her going with stick shift.

This past spring I picked up for my 16 year old son an e36 318is with a 5-speed and he loves it. Well under the price point you have in mind, too.
