Agree with the Jetta.
I got my son a 98 Jetta 2.0 ( manual ) about three years ago. GREAT car for a kid. It looks good, rides great and is very good on gas. All Jettas on those years suffer from Crank
( RPM ) sensor going bad, the sensor wiring degrades and the wires short, and the engine dies intermittently. If you get one, change the sensor ASAP. Also avoid the electric windows, and avoid auto trany.
I think a Civic is the best choice, but they are expensive and hard to find here. I had a Civic once and it was INCREDIBLY reliable.
