Best first car for $10,000?

My daughter is soon to be 18 and we are looking at going halves in a car with her. If you could wave a magic wand it would cost about $10,000, be an auto, have good safety features and about 100,000km on the clock. She also wants to put a mattress in it so she is drawn to the small SUVs. We will probably have to compromise on something from the wish list with safety being the No.1 priority for me and a mattress in the car and auto for her. What car would be good for me to look at and hunt down, because a Chery J11 is so different to a Subaru.

Definitely not a Chery but a Subaru Forester would be an excellent choice with five-star safety for you, good reliability and a wagon tail for travel.
