Which automatic car has the best engine - the 1.5-litre Mazda 2 or the 1.2-litre Peugeot 208/Citroen C3?
I have been following what you have said about the best small engines and automatics and I'm stuck between choosing the Citroen C3/Peugeot 208 Puretech petrol 1.2 110PS with the auto EAT6 gearbox and the Madza 2 1.5 Skyactiv automatic. I am also considering manuals. Out of the the two above, which would you recommend? The specs are very similar and I am finding it hard to make a call.

The Mazda 2 1.5 Skyactiv with 6-speed torque converter is by far the best. We were disappointed with the 1.2 Puretech 110 + EAT6 in the C3. It seems to be a lower torque auto than the EAT6 in the C4 Picasso with 1.2 Puretech 130.
