I'm looking for a small automatic 4x4 - what do you suggest?
I own a Dacia Duster 4x4 manual and due to a troublesome left hip find using the clutch pedal painful. I chose this car because being a little ancient I could easily climb in and easily climb out.I thought an automatic would make life easier and have considered the new auto Duster. Is there anything else I should consider?

The 1.5 dCi automatic is not available (yet) in the new shape Duster, but a dealer might be able to find an old shape for you. A good alternative is a Peugeot 2008 1.2 Puretech 110 EAT6 that has a proper 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission.

Excellent 1.2-litre PureTech petrol engine, more spacious and practical than the 208, post-facelift version looks smart.
