Agreed. It's fine as a first car as long as the kid takes care of it and respects what the car can do.

I think te first thing you should do is change if it needs it/check all the fluids. Radiator, Oil, power sterring fluid, brake fluid, and do an entire tune up better to know where you car is standing. They sell Ford racing tune kits for like 100 bucks well worth it. Check your brakes and rotors. Basically do an entire basic maintanance on your car. Don't do any modding with out the basic's or else see your self spending money on stuff you brake due to lack of maitnance. Trust me it's the best thing you can do. After all that is done I would by a BBK cold air and work on the suspension. Be patient with the car and be safe since I know your gonna want to experament with it.

just wait a while till you get the hang of it and become a better driver. get the feel for the car before you mod it. ya you hate hearing this but its the best. you'll get it stuck in your head you can drive good, and you'll be out driving fast and crash or something. not saying its going to happen, but i've seen and heard of it over and over again. teens thinking they can drive good and they crash. but ya good luck on driving and stuff. have fun and be safe!
