Recommend an automatic hatchback that's sub £5k?

I think a really savvy option is to buy an Auris hybrid, you can now find them under £5k. Enough space (boot is smaller than expected for its class though) but £0 tax and 60+ MPG. Plus it has a good automatic gearbox (CVT). Reliable and bulletproof if maintained.0

I'd advise against any old hybrid. Once battery is outside warranty (usually 7-yr) the car is effectively write off if you ever need to replace battery.
And no, you can't run the car using petrol alone if battery goes bad.Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.0
