What automatic car do you recommend for a retired couple?

We would like to replace our Skoda Yeti with a second-hand automatic car that is easy to get into. Having never had an automatic and heard horror stories about some automatic gearboxes what recommendations do you have?

Answered by Andrew Brady

Go for a Kia or Hyundai with a dual-clutch transmission, or a Honda with a CVT. A Honda Jazz is very easy to get into and very reliable. If you'd prefer a crossover SUV, consider a Suzuki Vitara or Honda HR-V.
