Which small automatic car for a 91-year-old driver?

I am 91 years of age and drive approximately 8000 miles per year. I run a Volvo V50 Automatic but am considering downsizing to a small, quality car that must be automatic. What do you recommend?

A Hyundai ix20, a KIA Venga 1.6 automatic or a Honda Jazz 1.4 CVT-7. Please consider taking an IAM Drive 55 assessment (www.IAM.org.uk).
