Need a small automatic

Three months ago we bought a Toyota Urban Cruiser, we love the build quality and cabin space and overall design, but after years with automatics we have decided that we can't live with a manual. We are now looking for a well built, small car with 4/5 doors, good cabin space and an economical automatic, with room in the boot for the dog. We find the Jazz cabin to cramped, is there anything else around or due to be launched this year. We only want to pay around £4K plus trade in for the Urban Cruiser.

If you found the Jazz cabin cramped, then that makes things difficult. There's the Toyota Verso S Multidrive S that you might be able to jump to, keeping it all within the same Toyota dealer. Outside Toyota, maybe a KIA Venga 1.6 auto or a Hyundai ix20 1.6 auto.
