Hip hip hooray

My husband is just recovering well from a total hip replacement that was followed by an unexpected Triple Bypass. He would love to change his Honda CR-V for something similar but smaller. It must be automatic. We love the look of the Toyota Urban Cruiser but it only comes with a manual gearbox. Any ideas would be really welcomed. Something to look forward to.

KIA Soul 1.6CRD auto. Or Nissan Note 1.6 auto. Or Nissan Cube 1.6 CVT. The Cube drives beautifully, but has love it or hate it looks.
