Your insurance premiums on a new car at 18 are likely to be astronomical. Have you run any quotes?
Secondarily (well this is a moneysaving site), great work on getting a job, but £18k per annum does not afford a new car lifestyle, financially.
Get a run around with a reputation for bomb proof reliability, that you aren't going to be too upset at dinking on a bollard or five while you're learning to not be a learner driver, use it for a few years then see where you are financially.

Honda Jazz - very popular with retirees as ultra reliable and bomb proof. Get one with a fsh - alot of them have had extended warranties on them with Honda - these are great as have been really looked after and have all their stamps. Very fuel efficient - very nippy - very reliable - great on insurance. You could easily pick up a 10 year old one for £1500. Small car but many dont have them as a first car because of the "retiree" connection.
I like them personally.
Mate - do not buy a new car at your age. You'll be gutted if you wreck it. You scratch or dent it second hand - big nubs innit? Also second hand cars now are different from second hands cars 10-20 years ago - they are much more reliable.
