Hi, my partner is after a small automatic car, ideally 4 doors. Budget upto 10k but ideally around 5-6k.

Driving is city based with a 15 mile each way commute three times a week which is a mixture of town and a roads.

Thanks in advance!

I bought a Toyota Yaris auto for my elderly parents - it is superb, amazing town car, like driving a little go cart, 4 doors, decent boot. It took a bit of persuading to get them into an auto but they love it

Would a Nissan Leaf fit the bill? They're under 4k, have a suitable range and obviously lower costs than petrol vehicles. If you've got a drive to have a charger installed, it should prove a favourable option.

Honda Jazz is the stock answer to this question, but a small electric car like a Leaf or Zoe would seem to fit the bill well too.

Yup, cheap small electric should be available for budget - assuming op has somewhere to charge it.

Why four doors if you're looking for a small city style car I've found the three doors are better than four small doors.

Leftfield options.

My brother has a petrol auto Jazz with similar requirements to the OP but all city driving and has no complaints. He has kept it far longer than he intended.
