Need a reliable auto - what do you recommend?
I am looking for a new or nearly new medium sized car. I'm worried about the fluid issue and hesitance in pulling away with a Volkswagen DSG and also concerned about the reliability of the new French auto boxes on the Renault Captur and Peugeot 308. Please can you advise the best choice?

You need a torque converter auto. Big: Mazda 6. Smaller: Mazda 3. Both have excellent 6 speed torque converter autos with perfectly matched ratios that you will very rarely need or even want to override.

Nimble and agile handling. Spacious cabin is very well made. Huge improvements to refinement and steering from October 2016.
