Sell it and buy her a 4cyl Toyota Echo.

V6 = not very fuel efficient.
4550 pounds = not very fuel efficient.

Good luck with this one
Not an option, unfortunately, though that is what I told her when she first got it. Has to due with family politics, rich grandmother involved (she's the favored one).

I tried to put her in a first-gen Insight, which would have actually put money in her pocket as the trade-in value of this car is still close to $10,000 with the miles it has.
