Is the Hyundai i10 still the best small automatic car?
My sister has stopped driving due to arthritis, but I feel that she could drive a small automatic. I know that you rate the Hyundai i10, but it seems to have increased in price quite a lot. As I am thinking of buying the car for her, are there any lower-priced comparable alternatives? To keep running costs down and to keep it as stress free as possible, I would like to go for a new car.

The i10 is still the best small car. A Kia Picanto is cheaper, though, and came top for reliability in a recent Which? report.
