(17000 Euros new C3 19000 Euros used C4) Renault Grand Scenic III (18500 Euros for slightly used) Skoda Yeti 1.2 TSI DSG (new 20000-24000) Euros other?   I would obviously preferred used but it looks like I have to consider new because the French do not like Automatic gearboxes and thus they are harder and more expensive.

• Honda FR-V 3+3 MPV - Automatic Wipers - sensitivity adjustment? 6 Apr 2010 (Forum)
  By and large it has been very good, but there are a couple of minor niggles which I would ideally like fixed before the warranty expires. The first, and most irritating, relates to the automatic wipers. Even with the sensitivity dial on the indicator arm permanently turned up to maximum, the wipers work really badly in motorway spray or fine mist - they just sit there, NOT wiping the windscreen, often letting it get so covered with spray that it is impossible to see through without turning the wipers fully on.

The auto gearbox is not displaying any warning lights about low fluid etc and its not even gone into emergency drive home mode.
