Which small cars have a torque converter automatic gearbox?

Many small cars are fitted with dual-clutch automatics or automated manuals these days, as they are smaller and more efficient than torque converter automatics. However, you could consider the pre-2013 Mazda 2, the MINI Hatch before 2017 and four-speed versions of the Kia Picanto and Hyundai i10.
