Diss-be-lever

I would be very grateful for any advice. I would like to buy a car with small body dimensions and a great automatic gearbox because most of my driving is in heavy traffic. The car needs to be as small as possible because it needs to fit into a small underground car parking spot. Price is not a major factor but good ride comfort is important. And it would be helpful if the car looked good too. What, in your opinion, is the best small auto on sale? Many thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.

How small? Suzuki Alto/Nissan Pixo 4-speed auto works well enough. A Hyundai i10 1.3 4-speed auto is better. Toyota IQ CVT is very good, but relatively wide. There is also a KIA Picanto 4-speed auto and a Chevrolet Matiz 4-speed auto.
