What should my first car be?

I'm just about to get my drivers license, and wanted to know if you guys have any good suggestions for a first car. I want her to be about to last at least 5 years

You're going to get my parent speech - driving as a teen (I assume you are a teen) is pretty dangerous, so a safe car is my first priority, followed by cost, both purchase and insurance/repair, so a fairly new (better safety features) reliable 4-door midsize (Fusion, Accord, Camry) with a 4 cylinder would be my recommendation.

Here's a good site for comparing safety between cars:
