Buying a new car with auto gearbox - are Fords any good?
We are about to change our Ford Fiesta 1.6 Titanium manual for a new automatic car. We have really enjoyed the Fiesta, but have heard varying reports about Ford automatics. Should we look elsewhere or are the reports about the Fords untrue?

The latest Fiestas are 1.6TI VCT Powershifts, as are B-Max. Both are very good.
