Ok, so this might be a bit boring, but just doing some research.

Mum's old liberty is due to be replaced, she wants a new car. Her budget is $25k drive away and is looking for a 4 door auto hatch.

What would you recommend?

Subaru Impreza R
Hyundai i30
Ford Focus
Mazda 3
Toyota Corolla

Anything else?

Thanks in advance.

impreza R for sure, we have one as our work car, great no fuss motoring

Buy the Focus! they are fantastic, I had an XR5 when they first came out and couldn't fault it!

Big fan of the i30. My Mum has a Mazda 3 & I hate the car. The hatch has really bad blind spots.
