The first time I got behind the wheel was with my dad and his 1996 ford explorer.
I did not know how to drive but got the basics down. We went on back roads and just driven around for a while. Then when I got my permit i got a 2000 subaru outback and I loved it, but sadly subaru engines and water gasket suck and cracked the engine. (never buy a subaru unless it has been engine swap) I got another car and it was a 1997 ford explorer. Thing was amazing through my first winter that I ever went thouth no problem and the thing never broke down. Then I had the drivetrain go out and mess up my 4 wheel drive so I was down graded to a Ford econoline. That thing was a box on wheels and never gave up. It was super comfy like driving your couch around.
