Which small automatic up to 1.4-litre should I buy?
I have been driving for over 50 years and, having had my current car for over seven years, I am thinking of buying a smaller, more economical model, possibly an automatic up to 1.4-litre. Could you please advise?

Probably your best choice is a Honda Jazz 1.4 CVT-7. If you want a smaller automatic, then a KIA Picanto 1.2, a Hyundai i10 1.2, a Suzuki Splash 1.2 or a Vauxhall Agila 1.2.

Surprisingly spacious small five-door city car. Makes best sense with 1.0 petrol engine. Much better than old Agila. Rebadged version of Suzuki Splash.
