Which small cars have a reliable automatic gearbox?
I bought a one-year-old Honda Jazz for my wife in 2012. It’s proved reliable and practical for her needs. She initially wanted an automatic but we agreed that the gearbox at the time was dreadful so we went for a manual. Now she is interested in getting an automatic. Have honda improved their offering on auto boxes in the Jazz? If not, what similar car would you recommend? Thank you for your help and advice.

Yes, the CVT automatic gearbox in the latest Honda Jazz Hybrid is pretty good and ought to be very reliable. As an alternative, you could consider small crossover SUVs like the Skoda Kamiq or Peugeot 2008 – or conventional small hatchbacks like the Ford Fiesta.
