What are some good first car options?

I still have approximately 3 years until I can start learning to drive, but I'm excited to drive so I'm looking at potential cars that could be good as first cars. I'm looking for something reliable yet sporty and fun (I'm a car enthusiast). My maximum price budget is $14,500 at most, which I think is quite reasonable and should result in me being able to drive a decent car. I've been thinking of either a 2015 Subaru WRX because by the time I'm able to get a car of my own, the 2015 model will be 5 years old and the Subaru's are very reliable and still fast af. My second choice would be a 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer because they can still look good once' they're modded, and the fuel efficiency seems to be pretty sustainable. My third choice would be a Lexus IS250 because they are sporty cars. I'm not very familiar with Lexus vehicles so I don't know if they have a good rep or not ect. I honestly would rather not have a Toyota or Honda because they seem basic and that isn't what I would like.
