Honda civic si- 2012 for a teenagers first car?

Way too new. Insurance statistics say you have a 60% chance of wrecking the car in the first year, 80% in the first three years, the result of the steep and unforgiving learning curve of driving in traffic. It is much smarter to get a beater car you can buy for cash. Even if your parents pay insurance now, if you wreck it your insurance normally goes up enough to repay their loss in three years. For example, if the car cost them $18,000 to pay for your insurance will go up $500 per month for three years. If you change companies, it follows you. If you stop driving for three years it is waiting for you. If your parents stop paying your insurance it is all yours. Too many teens get in that trap and can't afford to drive for many years.

A faster sporty car as a teenagers first car is pretty stupid. That said are you asking for your kid or yourself. Read about the younger teens who die in car accidents, there are no do-overs from death.

The type of car your parents have is irrelevant.
