When I turned 16 in 2000, I was given my dads 88 9000T, it was a nice first car, and I then bought another 88 and now a 91 (all turbos)...
My other brother received an old 84 8v 900, not a bad car still, but he was very anxious about getting a new faster car.
I dont like the idea of giving a slow car, it will make them hate the car and not be very grateful of it. Try not to buy a clunker either, and if its a fixer uper, make it something he is actually going to want to fix up.
My dad also wouldnt let me abuse the car, and unlike most kids in america, actually taught us how to drive, so he wasnt too worried. If i got a ticket (i never did) im sure i wouldnt have driven that car much longer.
Basically, dont get him a car he'll hate, but get him a car he will appreciate and wont feel "embarassed" in, then he'll take care of it, its that simple...
