2 of them are great cars. The third (the Soul) is OK but it's very stiff-riding, and the interior is OK but basic. Also I'm not a fan of SUV-style without SUV capability.
Which 2 are you saying are great cars? As far as the small SUV segment, my younger brother has my dad's Saturn Vue Redline edition. While the Vue has double the cargo space behind the back seat over the Soul (and a powerful motor with sport tuned suspension), I have always loved the space that small SUV segment offers in the passenger side.

I'd recommend a 2009 Jetta GLI turbo........You could get one for $18-19K.

2009 is better than 2008 because they upgraded the engine to a timing chain instead of a timing belt.
I do like the previous generating. I also have been a fan of these. Way out of my price range though...

Honda is expensive. They basic Civic 4 door is $2600 down and $189 a month.

Subaru on the other hand is $1169 down and $199 a month on the basic Impreza. That is one vehicle I had not tested. That isn't half bad though. Maybe I'll go test one tomorrow before work.
