Best quality small auto or semi auto?

We need a small (not city or super mini) quality petrol car for local lanes/town parking and 5000 mile p.a.(currently have 5 year old MB A150).

Back and leg problem means need to consider auto or semi auto plus high seating and easy access. Ideally nearly new. For long trips we have a new shape Sharan TDI140.
