I would go for an LTZ/RS but if they come out with the hot hatch versions later on.. I think she'd be happier with those (the ones touted at Detroit and Chicago recently.)
I'm on a similar bend with trying to find something for my mom. She wants pep, but a bit of size and fuel economy. Sonic just was too low for her and a bad experience with a Dodge Omni in 84 left her with nightmares.
Personally, having all but driven one, I love the ergonomics and I'm 5'11" 295. Yeah, fat man in a little car.. and it worked. I'd seriously just go all out on one though, pretty sure GMPP is gonna come back slowly with the ZL1 and may start tackling the Sonic with the rise of the Focus ST.
