Welcome to AF.

Just a heads up, everybody hates these threads because they basically all go the same direction. Somebody asks what car to get, and 50 people reply, suggesting the car they own, or the car they themselves want. You can save yourself the time and trouble and just look at hte cars people have in their signatures...that is probably what they will tell you to get.

All of that said, at 16, I think anybody should have a slow and reliable car that you can learn to drive without doing yourself or others bodily harm. Accord, Civic, Camry, Corrola, etc. Honda or Toyota or Acura. They will last, they are cheap to own, insure, and maintain. And while they can reach dangerous speeds, they don't get there as quickly...making them a tad safer to be driving. Drive one for a few years, save some money and get better at driving. Then get yourself something nice when the odds are better that you wont crash it and take more care of it. Not saying anything negative about your driving...just saying statistically there's a high chance you will have an accident your first year of driving.
