VW Jetta or Kia Forte if the lady insists on a manual transmission.

The hydrids come with 15's.The Corolla hatchback is awesome because the hatchback is more practical and has lots of space inside. You can always downsize the wheels later. The new Corolla can take 16, possibly even 15" wheels
We are currently getting 35 MPG around here. It took me a few months of negotiating between a few dealers. Walked out of two dealers. I ended up buying from the dealer that I have been doing business with for 35 years. Almost walked there too. Love the car!
MSRP was $30600. I got it for around $23600 before tax and tag. It was brutal doing that. It also came with the Lifetime Powertrain Warranty.

Don't think you're going to be able to argue with her about the number of doors or age but if she wants a manual she should absolutely get it because it will probably be the last one she ever gets. They are getting harder and harder to find these days.
Have a 2018 Hybrid Camry SE... One thing to keep in mind, it actually has more pep 'off the line' than the non-hybrid variants, the V6 included. The electric motors instantaneous torque just feels better than the non, which is very laggy in comparison. But it does have the slight sensation of the 'transition', but it is smooth.
My dad has the "LE" variant and routinely gets 50-52 MPG in all cases. For me, due to the larger wheels and such of the SE, get about 40.
Been trouble free for two years now. It's been really nice.

When I was looking at some cars, both the Toyota dealer and Subaru dealer had manual cars in stock. The Impreza, Crosstrek, and Corolla. It's intriguing but I saw the lower mpg. That Impreza is another contender but the dealer here at least doesn't discount much. The Toyota dealer gets more cars more easily I guess.
Camry is a superior car and size.
Tires are but one consideration. A large one since they impact ride quality, but are definitely less of a cost than depreciation.
I like the Mirage but it's a bad choice where we live. Just too small with lousy NVH, and even I think it's too slow.
No kidding. She keeps commenting on it. I keep pointing out that we'd have more options if we went used.
Ground clearance is nice to have. The air dam on the Camry has taken a beating over the years, and some of the dirt roads around here can do some damage if one isn't careful. And then snow of course.
More money . Like to stay below $19,000 .That's what the XV/Crosstrek is for
Out of those two I'd choose a Camry. A smaller car has it's legitimacies but 40K miles a year you'll want comfort and a bit more size and the Camry beats the Corolla in that. I average about the same in my focus and although it's great for just me on roadtrips, two full sized adults with luggage for a week really starts to cut into available 'living' room. Plus the short wheelbase is a pain for windy driving.
Happy wife=happy life. Tell the wife to get whatever she likes!
