I think I have come to the conclusion that that tour is not the right car for her, right now. I want it for me, but she needs something more simple. I'll keep an eye out for some ATX zetec tours and escorts. Something like that is probably best. Thanks for all of the comments guys, she got a kick out of reading this thread. She told me her next car WILL be a manual, but for now this is better. I agree.
