Crappy first car. Look, he's a new driver. Statistically he's going to crash it, at least a little. There's ZERO reason to start a new driver off in an expensive car. Let him cut his teeth on something safe but inexpensive, save on the insurance and the inevitable dents and dings depreciation, and hold on to those guns.
When he's a grown man, this car will be nothing but a hand full of memories and a story or two. Those guns will be something he can pass on to HIS children.
In regards to car ownership, the best gift you can give your child is the experience of saving for, buying, and maintaining his/her own vehicles by themselves. It has been my experience that pride in ownership is maximized when the child's hard earned money is at risk.
