Is the Suzuki Splash a 'proper' automatic?

I am considering buying a Suzuki Splash automatic which is on a special deal with a discount equivalent to the VAT. They have offered £3200 for my 2007 Fiat Panda which I have owned from new with only 16,300 miles. Is the Suzuki Splash what you call a 'proper' automatic and do you think the trade-in is fair?

Yes, it has a proper torque converter auto and the Splash has the highest first time MOT pass rate of any car which sells over 2000 units a year. And yes, the trade-in seems like a reasonable deal. For more on the Splash see good-garage-guide.honestjohn.co.uk/mot-results/
