Looking for a Small cheap to run automatic car for my Mother - can you help?

I'm looking for a car for my mother. It needs to be an automatic and ideally not too big, but have five doors and good on fuel.

She probably has a budget of up to around £6500, ideally looking for something cheap to run/tax/insure with a warranty that will provide worry free motoring for the next few years.

Honda Jazz CVT-7. NOT a Jazz i-shift, so the budget probably confines her to the old shape Jazz.
