Mazda3

A Mazda 3 would be a great beginner car. As long as you make sure your insurer knows it's not a Mazdaspeed 3, the insurance shouldn't be terrible. Compacts are great first cars, and great cars in general.
I really like Mazdas though, always have. The interior of the Mazda 3 is really fun and good looking too.

Oh I just kind of assumed it was going to be a used, cheap Mazda 3. It is isn't it?
The first car I drove was a GeoStorm. Looked something like this (but smaller).
We bought it for $2k, got 8 years of use out of it between my sister and I. I wrecked it and screwed up the hood and we sold it for parts for $500. Then I got my Impala. I do kind of miss the Geo, though. It had character. A six cylinder that drove like a four...ahhh, memories.

My dad was buisness manager of the local mazda dealership. (he also has worked for honda, and ford) Mazda's seemed to be great cars, few issues etc. When I am done school I want a Mazda 5. (Currently I drive a 2003 V10 3/4 ton Ford Truck..great for pulling the horse trailer, way to expencive to cart a JRT to an agility trial)
While a new car for your first car maybe doesn't make perfect sense, there's no guarantee you're going to smash your first car. As long as you're careful, alert, and aware of you're surroundings and other people around you, chances are you'll be perfectly fine. And hey, if someone else does something really dumb, that's what insurance is for
