What small automatic car

[BrowningDJC]

Don't go for a fiesta, the powershift auto boxes are very unreliable. My other half has a 14 reg done 20,000 miles has already been in to ford.

 

The new Kia Rio is meant to be good, plus a 7 year warranty.

Polo, the wee dsg gearbox takes some beating!

I assume it's the same as the day box in my new Audi a1? If so I agree it's a cracking gearbox. I understand that it isn't the same as an normal auto but is a manual box with twin clutches and an automatic shift. It gives lightening quick changes.

Nissan Micra.

Hasn't got a gearbox.

Sounds odd at first but is a super little runabout.

Constant Variable Transmission (CVT).

Constant drive on a variable 'belt' system.

Two year old Micra.

If you don't need four seats try a SMART car - wife has had a couple of these and loved them. Made by Merc so well put together. Only the fact she was ferrying oldies around meant move to bigger motor. Good in snow - far far better than the Saab I had at he time.

Yes, the only difference is Audi brand it 's-tronic' and VW is DSG.

 

I've just got a mk7 golf with the DSG, it is genuinely absolutely fabulous! I love it! Despite being an auto, you have the ability to have so much manual control too.

 

I'd heavily consider the polo DSG.
