Is a Nissan Juke a good first car?

My teenager is taking driving lessons right now. I’m looking for a new family car that could also be a safe choice for them as they get comfortable behind the wheel. Is a Nissan Juke a good first car?

The Nissan Juke could be a good first car if you’re looking for a vehicle with good handling and fuel efficiency.
The Nissan Juke is a subcompact crossover that’s fun (but not sporty) to drive. Basic connectivity comes standard, such as Bluetooth. While the Juke gets reasonable safety ratings, it’s not the best in its category.
There’s not much space available in the Juke, either for passengers or cargo. But it gets impressive fuel economy with 29 combined mpg.
The Juke has an MSRP of $25,250 for the base model. In this price range, you could buy a Hyundai Kona, a Mazda 3, or a Toyota Corolla instead which are commonly on lists of best cars for first-time drivers.
