Which small automatic is best?
My elderly mothers currently drives a manual Toyota Yaris. She wants to change to an automatic but not go to a larger car. I have heard that some cars are automatics and some are manuals with servo change which I understand are not as smooth. Can you pleas suggest some options so I can take her for test drives?

New, the latest model Honda Jazz 1.3iVTEC CVT-7. Very easy to drive and very economical. Used, the post February 2011 Honda Jazz 1.4iVTEC CVT-7 (Not the Jazz i-shift which has the nasty transmission you refer to.)

Neatly styled. Increased room and better performance than original Jazz. better to drive. Very versatile. CVT-7 returned in February 2011 replacing i-SHIFT. More reliable than first generation Jazz.

Unrivalled practicality and versatility. Plenty of room for four adults to travel in comfort. Surprisingly fun to drive, especially 1.5 i-VTEC Sport.
