Which city car has the best automatic gearbox?

What is the best automatic city car to buy? I've looked at the Citroen C1, Peugeot 108 and Toyota Aygo.

I wouldn't recommend a C1/108/Aygo - they use a frustrating automated manual gearbox rather than a 'proper' auto. I'd suggest a Kia Picanto with its four-speed torque-converter automatic gearbox.

Good standard specification for a low price, cheap to run and cheap to insure, surprisingly mature driving experience and capable out of town too.
Cheap to run, improved interior quality and refinement over previous C1, available with retractable fabric roof, decent at motorway speeds.
Plenty of kit as standard. Quirky looks. Very reliable.
