Are new cars suitable for new drivers?

I'm a 29 year who has just passed my test and I'm looking to buy my first car. Is it a bad idea to buy a new car as my first car? I was thinking about a Hyundai i10.

Definitely not a bad idea to buy a Hyundai i10.

Stylish, good quality interior. Roomier and more mature than its predecessor. Refined for a small car and decent to drive.
