Which used small automatic for an older driver?

My mother, who is 70, is looking for a new (second hand) car. She currently drives a Mitsubishi. She needs a fully automatic and something relatively small. She considered a Honda Jazz based on one of your articles and then discovered it is not fully automatic. She probably needs something with a bit of height (she lives in the country), but also reliable and safe. A bit of style would be nice too!

A new Honda Jazz 1.4iVTEC CVT-7 is fully automatic and has been since February 2011. From 2008 to Fen 2011 Honda substituted an inferior automated manual i-shift.
