What's a good automatic car for someone who has just passed their test?

My son and his girlfriend have both just passed their tests for automatic only. What would be a good first car that they could drive budget about £3k?

We would suggest looking at cars such as the Ford Fiesta, Toyota Aygo, Kia Picanto and Hyundai i10 and i20, all of which are available with an automatic gearbox and have low running costs.
