  A Grand Monday: Fiat Uno Selecta 12 Mar 2018 (News)
  s=carAndClassic&id=C968753" target="_blank">This example is an Uno Selecta, which followed the 1980s trend for small CVT automatics. It's not what you'd call racy to drive, but small CVTs do have a certain charm, not least for their constant engine note and rather direct power delivery - the throttle pedal is more an on-off switch than progressive, but in true Italian style it's an eager and lively little thing.

  Five-star Volvo XC90 smashes the Euro NCAP test 3 Sep 2015 (News)
  However, the new Mazda CX-3 only gained a four-star crash rating along with the Mitsubishi L200. This was because both cars lack standard automatic emergency braking – a feature that’s becoming increasingly common. The L200 doesn’t offer it at all, while according to Euro NCAP the Mazda has it on the options list but expects low take-up.

  A Grand Monday: Peugeot 505 17 Mar 2014 (News)
  So this one really piqued my interest - mainly because it's a car that you simply don't see anymore. So finding this 2.2 GTI automatic for sale, and at what looks to be a very accessible price, makes this worth a closer look. The seller is very honest about the car in the advert, spelling out that the interior's in one piece (good, as you try finding new bits), there's a long tax and ticket, and other than a few small blisters appearing, it's all in one piece.
