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.

That's the point though, nothing is really that slow nowadays, safer for sure, but also definitely quicker. I remember in high school thinking a V6 Beretta GT was pretty fast. Now every 4 cylinder Camry/Accord and probably Corollas/Civics can beat those.
