Is the Mondeo auto box any good?

I have looked at a Mondeo Titanium auto, I think they call it dualtronic. Are Ford autos trustworthy?

The current Mondeo automatic is fitted with a Ford/Getrag Powershift dual clutch transmission that is one of the best of its type and has a reliable dual mass flywheel. But it does require new fluid every 3 years at a cost of £250. And there are no paddleshifters.
