Funny how they keep looking at it, even though it's dead for all intents and purposes.

It's perfect for this purpose. One would be crazy to buy a teenage driver a new car. They are likely going to damage or mistreat it so going used is wise. However, you also want them in a safe car. In that regard, I think something like the Kizashi is quite good given all Kizashis are sold used now but all have the same high safety rating.
I also want to praise the other two Suzukis that made it on the list which were the Grand Vitara and the XL-7.

The only issue I have for this car being recommended for teens or beginner drivers is the giant A-pillars.

I've been driving for years now, and pedestrians still find their way to sneak into the blind spot and I see them almost last second before applying the brakes.

Yes, those A pillars are definitely obstructive. My wife drives a 2014 Kia Sportage and her Apillars are like tree trunks!!

Pedestrians? I've lost entire small cars behind those a-pillars! I have to do the owl head-bob thing on either side of the pillars to make sure I'm not missing anything

Hahaha, that is true and now that you mention the owl thing, I admit I've had to do the same thing.
