Can you recommend a replacement for our Honda Jazz which has electric folding mirrors?

My wife's 1.4 CVT silver Jazz, bought on your recommendation, will be five next month, having done 23,000 miles. She's ready for a change to another automatic. You are still recommending them, but have you any better suggestions, for example the Polo DSG, Fiesta or Audi A1? Electric folding mirrors are essential, which rules out the Fabia and the Suzuki Splash.

The new KIA Picanto 2 has electric folding mirrors that fold on the move. Automatic £10,795, manual tested and video tested here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/kia/kia-picanto-ii/

One size bigger it's hard to beat a new Jazz CVT-7, but they now start at £14,500.
