What are the issues? Maybe, you don't really want a crossover?

you are leasing. They will all be plenty reliable.
might be a good time to get a killer deal on an RDX. The new design will be out next month.

By "American", I mean mistrust of domestic car brands... Sure, they've had to improve since the bailout, but I still have friends whose Fords and Chevys give them trouble. Foreign carmakers created and have used certain best practices longer, and it's hard to believe the domestics changed that radically after doing business a certain way for decades.
The RDX is definitely nice but I haven't been able to get the payments low enough. Handles well, but the need for premium fuel, mediocre MPG and lack of smartphone integration are minuses.
I did just spot a Subaru out on the road that looked nice, not sure what it was... Don't really have a history or comfort level with the brand yet. What should I know about Subaru?
Featured Special Lease
Expires 07/05/18
2018 CR-V Continuously Variable Transmission 2WD LX Featured Special Lease
$259
Per month for 36 months.
$1,999 total due at signing.
Includes down payment with no security deposit. Excludes taxes, title and either dealer fees or documentary service fee. For well-qualified lessees.
The EX might be $100/mo., more.
If the RDX is too pricey, I'd look again at the CX-5.
If you can get over the domestic thing, take a look at the GMC Terrain. A lot of bang for the buck, on a lease deal.

Honda does have 2.9% financing on all CR-Vs for 60 months. With a modest downpayment you might be able to buy an EX CR-V for c. $450 a month, but I realize that's $50 a month above your target budget.
Aside from the CR-V EX, I don't think there are many entry-level SUVs that have smart phone integration. Toyota's RAV4 doesn't have that on any trim level, not even the top of the line.
But I just looked it up, and it seems that starting in 2018 the Nissan Rogue has AndroidAuto on some models. Probably a lease on a Nissan Rogue is in your budget.

Any thoughts on the Jeep small SUVs?
Just hope it does not crop up in the new 2.0T RDX motor.

Shifty, unfortunately a lot of cars have lousy visibility these days too. Remember that basic American principle - form over function

Since I’m into VW right now, will give the new Jetta a good look. Best warranty in the business now and am hoping with the new model out, they give some super deals in a few months. It’ll just fit in our garage on my side but if and when, will deal with that issue. The new Tiguan is great also but again, on the larger side. And not really into any CPO vehicle but might have to investigate that further going forward.

I'm helping my sister look for cars. She wants to stay under $10k, wants low miles (under 60k or so), automatic, likes hatchbacks but also likes high FE so doesn't want a CUV/SUV. Some cars I've found from local dealers that seem to fit are:
* 2015 Fit EX, 23k, $9999 - Has salvage title but I saw the Carfax and accident pics and the damage looks pretty minor, just the right front corner.
* 2016 Fit LX, 31k, $9799 - Just $200 less than the EX plus more miles, so not a good buy I think although not a salvage title so it would still have warranty left.
* 2014 Versa Note SV, 43k, $6999 - This is ideal I think for her, low payments, roomy, very well equipped (heated seats, Bluetooth etc.), only downside is salvage title (need to check out the Carfax and pics).
* 2015 Sonic LS, 40k, $8,995 - I've driven Sonics as rentals and I liked them, but for the money I think the Note and Fits are better buys.
* 2013 Cube, 36k, $8499 - Very roomy, but I think the Note is a better buy (and the Cube is black which she doesn't like).
* 2013 Elantra GT, 41k, $9990 - The sentimental favorite, plus it's loaded (panoramic roof, leather etc.) so a good deal IMO.
There's many more that fit her parameters, but all with closer to 60k miles. We're going to check out some of the above on Tuesday (holiday weekend).
If you are really comfortable with the damage and repairs, she at least seems like an OK buyer for a salvage car, if planning to keep and run into the ground.

IMHO, the Fit LX lacks nothing of importance. Still has power everything, bluetooth, and backup cam.
Personally, I hate the CVT in the Note and find it dreadful to drive due to the droning it causes.
All that said, something is wrong with that Fit LX at that price. Worth more than $11k at dealer auction, so $14k'ish retail. Unless it is not a 2016?
That is cheap for the Elantra. I would have suggested $11k as a fair price to pay.

I think pre-accident trade in value was about 12K? so if you should not pay more than $6K if salvaged, what is the trade in with clean title but dirty carfax?
And also why the right car, for the right person, with a salvage title can still be a good buy.
