Generally, since it's for your son to drive, it's better to get him what he likes, but within reason. Because there's no point giving him a car that he doesn't like. He'll not appreciate it as much as he should.
But since he's only 16, what I would do is to come up with a list of cars that fit the requirements (safety, price, roominess, performance, etc.), and then let the kid choose from the list.
Good luck!
