What's the best medium-sized automatic petrol car for £15,000?

I am looking for a medium-sized automatic petrol car for £15,000?

We'd recommend the Honda Civic. £15,000 will get a second-hand example of the latest (2017-) model with the reliable CVT automatic transmission. It's very practical. Also consider a Mazda 3.

Bigger than previous Civic, independent rear suspension means better ride and handling, 1.0 VTEC turbo petrol is excellent while i-DTEC diesel is very refined.
