Is there an automatic city car without an automated manual?

I would like to change my wife's 2015 Hyundai I10 premium for a similar sized used automatic.

I note that many small used automatics use automated manual gearboxes. I have read various of your reviews in the past where you have not recommended this type of transmission.

The vast majority of city cars are unfortunately fitted with automated manual gearboxes, which do not offer the same smoothness or responsiveness as CVTs or dual-clutch manuals. If you wish to avoid an automated manual it will require moving up a class to a small hatchback such as the Toyota Yaris, Hyundai i20, Skoda Fabia or Honda Jazz.
