A teenagers first car really only has one purpose: pulling girls U aint gonna pull nobody in a prius. And dont even bring up a Smart ForTwo. Tho a roadster...
I kinda doubt many people on this forum have much of a chance at pulling chicks, nice car or not. I wouldn't recommend a used high mileage Prius. Those batteries are expensive to replace.
you might pick up the vegan/enviromentalist/animal activist type but how many of us want that type of girl right?
