Starter car

I'm going to be getting my license in the next few months and I was wondering a good sports car that's reliable as a daily driver but isn't too crazy for a beginner.
I've actually been kind of looking into the Evo's (probably wrong idea for a beginner driver) and not sure wether the Evo 8 and up are good daily drivers.
Also if the 89-94 240sx are practical because if I cannot find a good newer type car, then I'd go to the 240.
Some ideas of any cars would be nice, but a semi-newer type of car is best because parents want me to be safe in a new car than not in an old cheaper car. Any ideas would be great.

miata. tons of miatas available, tons of aftermarket support (and I mean real support, not typical import tuner catalogue support). less likely to get stolen, less likely to get noticed by cops. go to an autocross or hpde and you'll find yourself amongst brethren, lots of them. buy the NB, the 1.8L one, quick enough so you're not bored to death, but slow enough for you to concetrate on developing the driver, not the car.
