Cosmo is on a distinguished road
As i wrote above, she is very capable of driving a manual transmission car. I am the performance driving enthusiast in our household and she quite frankly just "doesn't get it". She has been spoiled by two 4cyl Accord LX ATs and a souless 4cyl Camry AT for the last 16 years and doesn't care about twisty road fun. The Fit will be her commuter car. She would prefer an AT for the "point and shoot" ease of driving, but can and will accept an MT for pure fuel economy reasons if it does in fact get better highway fuel economy. City fuel ecomomy is a non issue since she will only be driving about 10% of her weekly miles in very light to non-existant traffic.
