Buying an automatic for an OAP
My father is 75 and losing strength in his left leg so needs an automatic.
He currently has an aging Citroen Picasso manual. He likes the high driving position of the Picasso and would want to retain this. I think we will be looking at used cars about 2-4 years old. What do you suggest? Four doors a must and should have space for golf clubs, trolly etc! He views a car just as a mode of transport so does not have to be "flashy".

There was a 2.0 litre Xsara Picasso automatic that worked quite well.
