Hi Rachel,

We’re sorry to hear your Micra was stolen. It will be more difficult to track down automatic city cars, as most buyers in this class don’t feel the automatic to be necessary, but they will be available in your price bracket. You should be able to pick up good, used examples of the Nissan Micra (in case you’re missing your old car), the Honda Jazz (it’s a CVT), the Toyota Yaris (or Vitz, if imported) or the Suzuki Swift. All of these, being Japanese cars, are super-reliable and easy to drive.
