Our Citroen C4 Grand Picasso EGS jerks when changing gears - should we replace it with a Ford S-Max?

Our new Fiat Panda automatic has returned an excellent 55mpg average over 5000 miles.

We recently swapped our old Rover 45 1600 auto for a FIAT Panda Automatic. We're really pleased with it - particularly the fuel consumption. We've always found autos pretty uneconomical, but the 5-speed...
