Can you recommend a automatic hatchback?
I'm looking to replace my Vauxhall Astra 1.4 turbo with a similar but probably automatic car. I'm considering the Mazda 3 auto, Volvo V40 auto or Peugeot 308 auto.
However, my issue is that most of the options are diesel and I'm concerned about problems with my low mileage of around 7000. Mazda 2.0 petrol seems best bet but I've heard the 120 engine seems underpowered. Is the 308 1.2 petrol any good?
