I don't think most of those will fit in our budget. I haven't looked at the Fit yet.
I will take a look at Honda's HR-V (though the interest rate is quite high) and the Impreza hatch. The Impreza is perhaps a bit bigger than she wants but it's in budget and should give a bit more legroom in the back, if I've done my homework properly.
Not exactly sure what the budget is. Or what the needs are. How far your driving. Fit is a great car. And I was considering a commuter car for my wife, but it's revs quite high on the highway, and it's pretty noisy (not that I care too much about noise, but this was noticeable)
We took the Nissan Versa Note for two test drives, and liked it more (for the subcompact category). 38" of rear legroom. They have been out for awhile, so finding a deal should be easy. The new Cruze I haven't tried yet.
