Kia Picanto.

I think the auto is a slushbox.

About £8k for a brand new one, so I imagine £6k will get one still under factory warranty.

We looked at them, but they are tiny. Something a tad bigger methinks cos i have to drive it too now and then, and i'm used to an E class.

Kia Rio, Hyundai i20, Kia Venga, Nissan Note most small far eastern models have an auto box in the range.

Avoid the automated manuals - dreadful things.

We got rid of a E320 and bought a new Mitsi colt automated manual. Cracking car, bags of room. Will do a ton + and 0-60 in 10 secs. Not bad for a 1.3. We love it.
