Hello there,
I would definitely add the Cd and weight of each of the car you put in your spreadsheet, as well as EPA, it will help you find the best for your target : higher MPG.
As for automatic vs manual, will you keep your previous car and add your commute car on top ?
If so, I can't see it very available for your wife to use it ...
And the extra MPG potential of the manual is a nice bonus for the desagrement of having the car only for you to use ;-)
