What's the best petrol automatic car to buy?
I may already have my ideal car, the Hyundai i10 torque converter auto and chain cam. Are there any new cars at a reasonable price that have torque converter auto and chain cam? I would accept a non-interference cam belt but still a torque converter auto box and petrol only.

There are limited number of new vehicles on sale that offer this combination, but the BMW 1 Series, X1 and MINI range are available with an eight-speed torque converter automatic and all petrol versions use a timing chain.
