Which automatic cars under £10k have the best mpg?

I’m looking for an automatic under £10k that has good mpg figures.

I’ve previously been recommended the Hyundai i20 and the Kia Picanto but the mpg ranges from 30 - 35 in some cases.

Ideally I’d avoid SUV size. Could you recommend anything that meets my requirements?

A Toyota Yaris Hybrid would be a very efficient small car - officially it's good for around 58.8mpg (WLTP) and our Real MPG data suggests you'll get close to that: www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/toyota/yaris-2011

Alternatively, you could look at diesel family hatchbacks like a Volkswagen Golf or Kia Cee'd. We'd only recommend a diesel if you cover a lot of motorway miles, though.
