AUTO BOX. Diabolical car. Can't WAIT to GET RID OF IT

I've been unfortunate enough to have this car on a 3 year lease for the last two and a half years. On driving it for the first two weeks I really belived there was a fault with the gearbox, as it's Citroen's automatic. It's been back a total of 14 times and they say there isn't a fault, it's actually how the auto box drives! I am fortunate to still be alive as it is SO dangerous. It changes down at roundabouts, there's a fatal delay at pulling off and doesn't know what gear to be in at any one time. There is supposed to be a manual over ride but that doesn't do a thing as reverts to default. The car is bumpy, EXTREMELY uncomfortable with a r****** sound system. The bluetooth connects when it feels like it and you have to shout to be heard. The pedal lay out is shockingly uncomfortable and has caused me a lot of back and knee pain. There is zero room in the back and the boot is awkward. The ONLY good thing about this car is it's easy to find when you come back to the car park as the lights flash. However, my heart sinks every time it's still there waiting for me but I know if any one stole this they'd give it back within 10 minutes! This car will go straight to auction in Jan 17. PLEASE don't buy it! It's black and 63 plate!
