Why get an automatic? Do you not know how to drive manual? There are very few automatics on British or European roads and there is a reason for it. Automatics are dangerous and don't allow you to use the engine properly while driving the kind of roads they have out in Devon. Large portions of America have straight wide roads with less road hazards allowing the lazy automatic to flourish with big gulp holder and all. Most newer US cars come with a climate controlled glove box to stock your big macs. I would reconsider that automatic lunchbox on wheels. 
I have a 2002 Toyota Echo (essentially a go-cart disguising itself as a car) that is automatic, front 2-wheel drive. No Big Mac cooler or big gulp holder, I'm afraid.
I prefer function and economy over luxury, myself.
When I lived in North Lake Tahoe, I used to drive my super dangerous automatic transmission up the road on Mt. Rose to and from Reno quite frequently. Not only did I drive this road, which is 2 lanes (one in either direction), very narrow, hugs the side of the mountain, and includes switchbacks that would make roads in European mountains proud, but I also drove it while it was snowing horizontally (directly into my windshield). I didn't have a single problem with it. I also knew of no one else in my friendship circle who even had a manual transmission, and they also had no problems traversing hairpin turns in the ice that could have you sliding off the edge of a 6,000 foot high mountain.
