Buying a small auto - What's best?
I'm looking to replace my Smart car to cater for my toddler. I want it to be as small as possible and an automatic. The Citroen C1 and Peugeot 107 look like good options. 1-2 years old ideally. Would you recommend either of those or something completely different?

They aren't automatic, they are automated manuals, like the Smart. Not very common. I think you'd be better with a Hyundai i10 or KIA Picanto auto, both of which are proper four-speed, torque converter autos.
