Didn't even give the Cube a chance, she's not a fan of the boxy cars (Cube, Soul, xB)!
Did a little window shopping over the last few days....and her favorite new car so far has been a bit of a surprise, the Kia Rio 5. Basically, the cheapest of them all and she likes it the most. It definitely looks great from the outside (looks like a Seat Leon), but we didn't get a chance to test-drive it yet (although from the TTAC reviews it should be rather zippy).
Hyundai was a big disappointment to be honest....based on all the hype, I was expecting more from the interiors. I think KIA has it's brother beat, the Peter Schreyer (Chief Designer at KIA, used to be at Audi) designs are really well done.
Mazda 2/3's were good, but they don't do leasing apparently.
Also took a look at a Merc B200 today....too expensive new, but a 3-4 year old CPO is in in the ballpark. Definitely the most refined of all the cars, and really practical as well (massive cargo area when seats are folded). Also has some "designer cache", which is appreciated in her line of work.
