And maybe a toy for me to use after
Totally a chicks car but super fun to drive and will own most cars on the track, several cars run them on the track and do very well.
CRX may be ultimate for you & her combo (soon to be reintroduced by Honda)

I don't believe in that stereotype and image nonsense. Miatas, like everything else on four wheels, are for anyone, male or female, who likes them and can afford one.

I just wanted to complete this thread and close it by saying.. YES I found the car this past weekend. Its a Honda Civic Hybrid. The only change I'll make to the car is the wheels... gotta upgrade that crappy wheels to a 17" 
Sure I lose like 2mpg.... but at 44mpg, that's not a huge loss. And this car will last quite a while. The best of all worlds - reliable, gas frugal, young and hip/cool Civic. My daughter will be pleased.
