I am looking at buying a small automatic that has a good reliable gearbox and decent all round reliability. I currently own a 2015 Honda Civic SR high spec vehicle in excellent condition with just 29,000 miles. I am used to the excellent torque convertor gearbox in the Honda.

I am considering the Kia Picanto. I notice from some of the other questions that have been asked about small autos that the Picanto gets quite a few mentions stating that it has a good torque convertor gearbox. Looking at the models, it appears that the model from 2017 onwards has the torque convertor gearbox. Does the previous Picanto from 2011 to 2017 have the torque convertor gearbox? Car prices still seem over inflated, where is the best place to source a Picanto at a reasonable price?

Also, I will need to sell my car before purchasing the replacement.

Ideally, I don't want to pay more that £6,500.
