Does anyone have any experience as to what the autoboxes are like in these cars? It is planned as a second car for the other half to use so the transmission would need to cope with mixed conditions around town as well as some long motorways runs of 200 miles plus.
Can spend anything from £2000 all the way to about £5500. Mk6 examples from 2005 seem to be at the bottom end of the budget whilst MK7 cars from around 2010 or maybe even 2011 are at the higher end.
Does anyone know if the 1.4 has a different transmission to the 1.6 and if so which is the better example to go for? Are these transmissions good past 60k miles?
