Which small automatic would be most suitable for a disabled driver?
I need to buy a used car, but need an automatic due to a disability that restricts the movement of my right arm. I only drive short routes to town, but want something economical and reliable. I’ve narrowed down my search to the Peugeot 1007 and Toyota Aygo, which would you buy?

Neither of these are automatics. They are automated manuals. If you need a small genuine torque converter automatic go for a KIA Picanto or a Hyundai i10.
