If she really wants one get a manual and teach her how to drive a clutch. My daughter got a new 2014 Fiesta and the automatic transmissions are bad enough that there is a class action lawsuit against Ford about it. Hers hasn't been as bad as some, only back to the dealer twice for reflashing the trans computer and another time to replace the computer. Otherwise a very trouble-free car despite 75,000 miles of girl-type driving and maintenance.
Ford mostly builds great engines but their transmissions are shit.
She can already drive a standard. Actually, she learned on a 3 on the tree. But, the car's not for her, it's for her husband (debatable whether he can drive a standard), and her son may drive it, too (and I'm pretty sure he can't). If I was buying for me, I'd go with a standard for sure, but she specifically asked for an automatic.
