What used automatic?

I am looking to trade in my 54 plate MINI Cooper for a small or medium sized car which is economical and reliable. It must be automatic. I do long distances on 2/3 days a week, so must be good on a motorway and have a bit of speed. My maximum budget is £5000.

I would appreciate any advice or help you can provide as feeling rather lost!

Please help me choose between a Honda Jazz i-Shift and a Honda Jazz CVT. Which is more reliable? I can spend £3000 and I want the most reliable car. It doesn't matter if it is the first generation or second.
