Thanks, @joeyduck. I think legroom and price were the two big factors. Stepping up into the Santa Fe sport with similar packages/trim would have been close to (or over) $30k easy. They were able to sell me the Tucson sport for $24,900. So that gave me a lease payment of $265 for 36 months with $17,300 residual. So that got me under the $300 monthly I was also looking for. Can't fit a bike without putting the seats down. But that's always been the case with the Passat as well. Well, I qualify that with at least leaving the rear wheel on. Taking off both front and back wheels, then I could just fit the bike in the Passat without putting down the rear seats.
