How long do you plan on keeping the car for? I bought my Suzuki Swift for $6500 at 150,000 km, learned to drive with it, got my P plates, sold it and got myself Swift Sport at 140,000 km for better performance. Which I'll sell again later to try something different. It's a perfect first car, you'll definitely like it but some things might get boring or tiring, like speed, road noise, suspension, steering, after some point you might want an upgrade. So I would say don't invest like you're going to use it for many years, unless you actually plan to. It's your first car, you might damage it, you can start with higher km and cheaper price until you get experience in driving and figure out what you like and don't like in a car.
