Default Buying First Car, Any Suggestions

Looking at buying my niece her first car and its my shout and i'm looking at spending around $5-6k on something reliable as she's in an isolated area. Is this to much? Been looking at Toyota Echo's and AE 112r Corollas. Anybody got any other suggestions on makes and models or thoughts or have been through this as a parent/relative/friend? Its very difficult, as i'd rather see her in something around $2-3k that is bound to get damaged, scratched and mechanically abused etc... as she learns and has more respect for cars, but for that money it would have questionable reliability, and maybe cost her more money in the long run?

Any thoughts would be appreciated?
