Best Small Automatic Cars of 2023

The Honda Jazz and Hyundai i10 are both considered to be very reliable for small automatic cars, however most modern automatics should provide trouble-free motoring well past their warranty periods. For extra piece of mind the Kia Picanto offers an impressive seven-year warranty (the norm is closer to three years).

Electric small cars like the Vauxhall Corsa-e should also be extremely reliable thanks to their far simpler mechanical components and a gearbox comprising of a single gear sending power from the electric motor to the driven wheels. 

Different marques owned by the same parent company often share mechanical components, such as the Audi A1, SEAT Ibiza and Volkswagen Polo which have the same seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. This can often result in more thoroughly developed components which can result in enhanced reliability.
