Wagon or hatchback.
Infinitely more practical in terms of hauling stuff. I used to haul a stand up bass / guitars around. The stand up bass fit into a 944, sure, but only because it had that rear hatch, and the car was completely full at that point.

With something like a cello, it's not just stuffing a cello into the car, if the cello is in a soft case, it's packing it in a way which doesn't stress the neck/ or bridge. If the cello is in a hardcase- then you'll need space.

The wagons/hatchbacks let you haul the cello, + all sorts of other stuff/ clothes/ belongings. Especially if she is travelling with the cello and needs to take a friend,or other musician with her, it lets her be in charge of the travel arrangements, not everyone trying to fit in a friend's potentially unsafe/unreliable/ unknown driving ability arrangement.
