What automatic car do you recommend for around £5,000?
I am looking for a practical automatic medium-sized workhorse car for around £5,000. The Ford C-Max 2.0 TDCi fits the bill, but does this model have the Powershift gearbox, or are the bigger engines fitted with something better?
If it has, can you suggest something else reliable?

The C-Max is fitted with a Powershift gearbox.
I would consider the Toyota Avensis estate 2.2-litre diesel auto. It has loads of room inside and they're considered to be extremely tough, we have had few reports of issues: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/toyota/avensis-2015/...d
