My personal opinion is that no new driver should ever start on a new car. Find a beater to learn on, borrow your Dad's car for dates. I truly believe when you learn on a beater and finally get something nice the appreciation factor for the new vehicle more than doubles. I started off on an '87 Ford Taurus Station wagon, while I hated it at the time, looking back I wouldn't have changed a thing.

this is true, it's not all about being able to handle a car... it is all about experience. not everything about driving can be taught. and since teens are stubborn by nature, they learn everything from mistakes. i bet anyone who got a 370z as their first car has their rims curb-rashed to death lol.
