You can't really go wrong with any of the options you've mentioned, perhaps aside from the MINI, which is still a little lacking in practicality even in the five-door version. Our pick in this part of the market would be the Skoda Fabia (related to the Polo and Ibiza), although most you'll come across will use a 1.0-litre engine, which is common for the segment. It suits the car just fine, but if you're set on a larger engine, some higher-spec versions come with a 1.5-litre inline-four. Each is available with an automatic gearbox. You'll also need to double-check the spec of any you're looking at, as not all trim grades have navigation - some will require you to connect your phone via Android Auto/Apple CarPlay and use your device's mapping software (e.g. Google Maps).
