What is the best small car for an elderly lady?

What is the best small car for an elderly lady? It needs to be secondhand, low mileage, reliable, petrol, automatic and good size boot.

A Kia Picanto is a sensible choice but I'm not sure its boot will be big enough for your needs. A Honda Jazz is bigger, very versatile and will be a very reliable choice. The CVT automatic gearbox is very good but avoid the i-Shift automated manual used between 2008 and early 2011.
