Should I avoid the ETG gearbox in the Citroen C1?

I am thinking of buying a used Citroen C1 auto but have read the ETG gearbox is best avoided.

Do you agree? Do you know why?

We would suggest avoiding the C1 with the ETG gearbox, as it delivers clunky gearchanges and a less comfortable driving experience, as well as being slightly more thirsty than the manual version.
