Not the prettiest cars, but older volvo station wagons are what I would consider for a first car. Can be made to look great, safe, reliable, can fit tons of stuff in them and fun overall. Guess it depends on what your kids are into, but the versatility is great. I had a hooptie 1991 740 wagon when I was 20. That car was great. I did not maintain it at all and it never asked for anything but gas. Had a five speed. Gas mileage was fine for how old it was. I moved on to BMW after that but I really liked that car.
