Which gearbox?

Which is better, manual or automatic in the Citroen C4 Grand Picasso? Or is it personal preference?

It's actually a choice of three types of transmission: manual, EGS or torque converter auto. Some people cannot get on with an EGS, which is really an automated manual gearshift.

Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
