How about a Citroën DS3 or Peugeot 208? Our DS3 auto is a bloody hoot to drive. It's a 1.6 petrol with a 4 speed auto. The box is really not great and really needs a 5th gear, but in every other respect the car is fab.
Citroën replaced it with a 1.2 turbo and a 6 speed auto. They put this combo in a lot of cars, and it's in my FiL's Citroën C4 Cactus, where it provides surprisingly good performance and lots of refinement. That's another nice, honest, practical car, with good interior design and the most comfortable ride I've ever experienced.

Thanks everyone. Will have a think. Honestly thought "just want an automatic hatchback that's good for long distance drives" would be easy, didn't realise there's so much in it.
