Can you recommend a five-door automatic for low mileage?
In the past we have had and been pleased with the Toyota Yaris and Suzuki Swift (current car). Both have been fully automatic (not tip-tronic which we dislike).
For our next car we want something similar, although petrol is preferred as we cover low mileage and many short runs. We collect elderly passengers for local luncheon club so ease of access and leg room need to be adequate, along with a decent boot for the occasional trip to the garden centre.
Our main car is a Skoda Yeti automatic bought on your recommendation which is a delight. We want a new purchase in the region of £15,000 but are flexible. Any suggestions?

A Suzuki Splash or Vauxhall Agila 1.2 4-speed torque converter auto is the smallest (i10 and Picanto maybe a bit too small). Small and tall, but bigger, you could also consider a Ford B-Max Powershift auto. Honda Jazz 1.4iVTEC CVT-7 will be replaced in 2015.
