AxemanZZ,
I would be cautious of the Kia, their value drops like a brick as soon as you drive them off the lot. I know that this is the case with all new cars but the Kia, Daewoo, etc REALLY drop. Remember when Hyundia came out in the late 80's? My brother-in-law bought one because "it was such a great deal". Too bad it was over 100 miles to get any service work done and when he did get it serviced it usually took 3 times to get it fixed correctly. In short, you get what you pay for. Get your wife to drive a Focus and she will soon forget how "ugly" it is.
