from my experience, Hyundai cars are very reliable, great quality (newer ones have like a 10 yr warranty anyway) and pretty comfy and you can get them for really cheap. So I would go with that. My brother in law drives a Sonata for business and the car isn't exactly taken care of as a car should be but he hasn't had one single problem with it in the last 10 yrs ( its a 98) except the window on the passanger side wouldn't work because the window motor gave out but even that was covered by the warranty. I would say its your best bet for the cheapest price.
and yes mini coopers do come in automatics as well. They are a little more pricey though vs most of the other cars u mentioned originally
