Cars: Any comments on the Toyota Venza, Subaru Outback, Mazda 3 hatchback

[azhoopsfan]

My lease is expiring in early September and I'm starting to think about the next car to lease.  I like the idea of hatchback/wagon and like the Toyota Venza, Subaru Outback and Mazda 3.  I'm only familiar with Toyota/Lexus as that's all I've always since a bad experience with a ford escort as a teenager. 

I have a 2 year old and another on the way, so space is nice, but this car is not the daily driver for the kids --- it'll mostly make the 5 mile round-trip journey to work for me alone.  My wife has a bigger suv and she gets the garage, while this will be parked outside.   

Any thoughts on these cars?
