Which city car auto is best?

My wife is looking for a small three year old automatic for town driving. The Hyundai i10/Kia Picanto/Suzuki Alto are in the mix as they have torque converter gearboxes. Which is likely to be the most reliable / cheapest to run in your opinion?

The i10 or the Picanto. The Alto will be cheaper, but not better.

Cute little small hatch clone offering low emissions, low tax, good fuel economy and a proper 4-speed automatic option. Decent to drive.
