 Semi automatic gearboxes. - Roger.
I'm considering getting an auto to replace the manual Dacia.
A small mpv would be ideal to facilitate entry and exit. The boot needs to be big enough to carry a folding wheelchair for SWMBO.
Ideally I'd like a torque converter box for smooth changes and I've thought of a Hyundai ix20 automatic, a Kia Venga auto and a Nissan Note auto.
The budget is circa £6k.
These shortlisted cars are hard to find within a reasonable distance, so my thoughts have turned to a Citroen C3 Picasso with the automated manual box.
Reports indicate that in automatic mode progress is jerky. (that's why I want to change from a manual). The question is therefore- has any one real life experience of how these boxes operate in auto mode?
