Should I go for this automatic Peugeot?

Hello, I am looking at a 2006 Peugeot 307 Automatic and am wondering if you know much about their performance and reliability? I'm not looking for an automatic specifically but this car seems very clean and comfortable and is a high spec model. It only has 75k miles on the clock. I was planning on a 1.4 but this crossed my path and seems like a good car but I don't know much about automatics.

Many thanks, Sinead

What mid-sze petrol car should my parents buy?

My elderly parents are in the market for a mid-sized hatch with a budget of around €22k, which seems to get them most brand's lower-mid trim models. A crossover they feel is too big for them despite me recommending the easier entry of the higher seats. They need a small petrol engine, as their mileage is low and will never reach a speed capable of clearing a DPF.

The question is what car? There is a really good range of options between Golf, i30, Focus, Pulsar, Auris and many others. What is the best all round option, and do you happen to know if any of them are easier to get into/out of than others?

Thanks
