Ctroen C4 automatic - should we buy it?
            
            
                We are thinking of buying a 2005 Ctroen C4 SX Automatic 1.6, but are not sure if it is a semi-automatic or a torque converter?

                        Automated manual, prone to expensive failure and best avoided.

                Most models are well equipped. Punchy diesel engines offer strong economy. Decent-sized boot.
