She ended up with a great deal on a low miles 18 Outback lease return. I doubt she will want anything but a Subaru SUV for life now.
Even if one of the American brands was acceptable to her they could not even come close to features for the price.
Subaru seems to do well blending basic with enough features while keeping cost down. She got everything she wanted for around 24k. Plus I was able to get her some incentives and add ons like cargo liner and some free oil changes.

The car has no guts when you put your foot down, but it drives quite smoothly with the longer gearing from the 5spd. Should be perfect for her, she has a led foot getting up to speed.
