3 cyl, 5 spd, hatch.

Tires first. I might go with bigger and wider. I know it's less efficient, but safety comes first, and here in the mountains we have a lot of snow and bad roads.

Some kind of wheel disc covers and an air dam/block in the front, but I have to keep it high enough that I'm not plowing snow with it.

Then maybe a belly pan and kammback. If I can find a cheap hatch I'll experiment with some boattail shapes.

Thinking about WAI, but on this site Metro drivers don't seem to notice an effect from this. Just having a quick warmup on cold winter mornings would be worth it.
