My brother was looking for a car with the exact same criteria… he ended up buying a 1-year-old Chevy Aveo hatchback (actually a Suzuki/Daewoo product). I thought it was a weird choice but it seems to be working for him.

LOL this was one of my first suggestions and she looked it up online took one glance and said no. But I do agree it would be good for the situation. The Honda Fit looks good too but I got the same response.  
Its really funny actually because her husbund wants something nice like a newer Acura/BMW/Audi but it is not looking like things are going his way hahaha.
