Does your wife's work offer a car allowance in lieu of covering her lease payments? If so your other alternative is to buy/finance a 3-4 year-old RAV4 or CR-V. Driving those for a couple of years and re-selling will have a very minimal cost of ownership which is hopefully offset by the car allowance.
