She picked out a 2014 Mirage with the 5 speed. Reason: she prefers to drive a stick than a manual. She's not a hypermiler of any sort - just likes little cars that get good mileage. Nothing more than regular driving. First couple tanks were just shy of 50mpg calculated by miles driven / amount of fuel to fill up to full. She's more than happy. Convinced her that the extra couple bucks for the ES trim level would be appreciated in the long run as she'll keep this car until it's used up. The BT integration with the stereo is what got her. And it's red.

Edit: because of where we live, there is no trip that is shorter than 10 miles round trip. Her work is 25 miles from home. I'm just starting to look for a job, and anything I find will be at least that far. Need DDs with good-excellent mileage.
