if you have any sort of showoff mentality (which a lot of kids at 16 have, especially with cars) i guarantee you will wrap it around a pole

Honda Civic Si (160hp) was my first new car, I was 16. I would say start with something less pricey. Unless the 16 yr old is going to pay for it, then that's a diff story. His/Her money, they can do what they want with it.

It all depends on the driver... Which in this case is a 16year old... For a first car i wouldn't recommend it just because when i was 16 i was doing all the dumb things ur not suppose to do... And he will be taunted by the other kids at school... Peer pressure is big at any school... Thats a hard decision...

Its fast if you wanna make it fast by pushing it. Personally, I dont think any 16 year old should be learning and driving on this car.
I first started driving a sh!tty white mini-van
.
this was my first car and i am 18 right now, and i got it when i was 16. But if you love the car and learn to drive it the way you are supposed to, i think its fair. There are some friends who have gotten m3's and s4's for their first car. and i thought i was reluctant to get a g35.
