No, the reasons are valid. Buying 16 year olds nice cars if a stupid idea for many reasons.

Not buy a new engine? Ok the kid can add parts easily without switching the engine. Use Nos etc. Plus Civics are slow but can go 100 and can be somewhat nimble so can easily get into accidents with one.
Spoiling the kid? See there is where the huge issue is. Many on here are angry a KID owns a vehicle that took them so long to get. Spoiled? Having a car can be considered spoiled. Having a BMW in some areas can be considered common.
In hindsight giving a kid a car period is irresponsible. They are not safe even for adults and use so much money.
