First car? On a budget? Get a cheap reliable economy commuter car. Keep it stock/reliable. An old diesel VW beater is cheap, super cheap on gas (like 800-1000 km/tank), cheap to insure, and if you get a good car is bulletproof.

I wouldn't suggest spending money to modify it. IMHO, it's far more cost effective and you get better results 9/10 times taking a fairly fast platform (IE, RWD, V8 or a motorcycle) as a second 'fun' ride.
