Hatchback

Alright let’s start an argument. What would be a good choice for my daughter’s (16) first car? I am looking for 2008-2013. Fit, Matrix, Civic, Versa,Mazda 2,3,Corolla, as you can see I prefer the Asian ones unless someone can convince otherwise.
She will be living with her mother a bout a hundred miles away. So I need something pretty reliable.
