How can I convince my dad to let me buy a Toyota Yaris?

I will be graduating from uni this year. I have had my licence since early January 2009 and want to buy a car, as I am not insured on any other car and I would love to get back to driving. The problem is, my dad seems very reluctant for me to be getting a car. I have looked into it and would like the car I passed my test in, a Yaris. How can I convince him that its a good, reliable car and a good choice as a first car?
