What small auto?

Three years ago you advised an automatic X-Trail. I have loved it. I recently retired and now need an automatic supermini with good mpg and low tax. What's your advice?

Cheap to own. All models have airc on, five seatbelts and flat folding rear seats. Rides and handles quite well for its size. 99g/km Blue model from early 2011.
Excellent, honest vehicle, decent to drive on road and best in class off road. Better than original Freelander.
