Will an automatic Nissan Micra suit me?
Hi, can you tell me is a 2007 Nissan Micra Sport 1.2-litre automatic good for long journeys? I go to visit my mother twice a week she lives 50 miles away; the rest of the days are just normal school runs etc.
Thank you, Paula

What auto will I replace our SEAT Alhambra with?
I am getting rid of a 2000 SEAT Alhambra automatic 2.0-litre, as it seems to only get about 23 miles to the gallon. I want to get a smaller car with good mileage for about €5,000, but it needs to be automatic as my wife is American and can't drive 'stick'. The Mercedes-Benz A-Class seem cheap. Are these any good or can you recommend an automatic with smaller engine?
