Need an economical hatch with auto gearbox
I am looking to upgrade my Ford Focus (2008 model) next year. I do mainly city driving and my mileage is less than 10,000. I like the 1.5 diesel automatic, but thought it lacked get up and go. Would a 2.0 petrol be better, or should I stick with the diesel?

If it has to be an auto, get a Mazda 3 2.0 120PS 6-speed auto, or a Mazda 2 1.5 6-speed auto.
