Car for learner driver

[[FnG]magnolia]

Folks,

Yes, I've googled but looking for opinions on a good first car for a new driver. Eldest daughter is 16 in January so I'd like to get this organised pre-Christmas. Current contenders:

• VW Polo
• Suzuki Swift
• Toyota Yaris
• Mazda 3

We're upside down over here so anything European has stalks back to front - not a deal breaker but potentially confusing if our car is different to the Instructor's car.

Anything obvious I'm missing?
