Can you suggest a narrow car with sliding doors?

We have very limited width parking and have at present a Suzuki Jimny 4x4. We are interested in a small automatic car with sliding doors as this would ameliorate the parking problem. We cannot go any wider than the Jimny because of opening the doors. Could you recommend something ?

Sorry, no, I can't recommend anything. There was the awful Peugeot 1007, based on a Citroen C2, that could be had with an automated manual transmission, but that is information, definitely not a recommendation. Get a Hyundai i10 1.2 automatic instead. That is narrow and, because it has four doors, the doors do not open as wide as those of a two door car.
