On the flip side, giving a kid any car remotely powerful or with a prestigious badge is just asking for trouble.

I'm far from being a parent, but I think some lame slow AWD Subaru for a kid would give me the best piece of mind as a parent.
My first car was a 97 Camry. What it taught me was ...how to drive a slow car fast.

Which in the grand scheme of things, taught me to really learn my vehicles and their limitations before ever attempting anything in them
