What's the best small automatic?
What is the smallest car with an acceptable automatic? I was considering the Honda Jazz CVT, but read that the noise over 60mph is unacceptable.

It is a CVT. If you sit with your foot pushing the pedal to the floor the noise will be unacceptable. If you drive sensible it won't be. Will be very relaxed. But you can get 4-speed torque converter automatic KIA Picantos, Rios and Vengas, Hyundai i10s, i20s and ix20s and Mazda 2s. Avoid DSGs.

Neatly styled. Increased room and better performance than original Jazz. better to drive. Very versatile. CVT-7 returned in February 2011 replacing i-SHIFT. More reliable than first generation Jazz.

Stylish, good quality interior. Roomier and more mature than its predecessor. Refined for a small car and decent to drive.
