    Whichever vehicle meets the most of your wants and needs from a vehicle while still fitting within your budget.

    I also suggest that you phone an insurance agent or broker to get insurance quotes for each vehicle after you've narrowed down your choices to 2 or 3 finalists.  Insurance premiums can vary wildly between vehicles and an insurance quote may help you decide on which vehicle to finally pick.

    Assuming you're going for a used vehicle, also have a dealer or shop inspect the vehicle you're serious about buying before you finalize the deal.  This is your best protection against being saddled with unanticipated repairs within the foreseeable future.

    Whatever you do, do not get a Fiat.

    Probably a used car under $10k private owner. Alot of kids crash there first car so I would not recommend a new one. Once you learn to drive well you can get a new car if you have the money of course.

    A two year old Honda Civic is a good place to start.
