What small automatic would you recommend for £9000?
What small to medium size 5 door petrol automatic hatchbacks can you recommend for £9,000? Usage mainly in town and occasional motorway trips. Reliability and being easy to reverse park onto an awkward drive are very important.

If she can find a post January 2011 Honda Jazz 1.4 i-VTEC CVT-7 within budget, I'd go for that. Very spacious, very practical with proper flat-folding rear seats and very reliable. Not a great drive, but still very pleasant with excellent fuel economy.
