What used automatic?

I am looking to trade in my 54 plate MINI Cooper for a small or medium sized car which is economical and reliable. It must be automatic. I do long distances on 2/3 days a week, so must be good on a motorway and have a bit of speed. My maximum budget is £5000.

I would appreciate any advice or help you can provide as feeling rather lost!
