Two of mine have cars now (third just starting lessons) having cars has actually been and really nice thing in that we have that in common (separated from mother a few years back) oldest has a Mondeo ST, middle a Golg GTI, always on about their latest mod, all very excited when I got the z!. Though youngest wants a VW polo, hope he's grows out of that lol..
Polo's probably a safe bet for a first car tbh ~ definitely won't be breaking any speed records in that.
