I was going to suggest a large car like a Crown Vic. Lots of metal, still decent mileage, and a friend recently picked up a seriously pristine one at a police auction (must've been from a detective or supervisor.)

Unfortunately, it's large enough that it's difficult for a new driver to judge maneuvers and parking--problems that an Explorer will have as well.
