While driving purists bemoan anything resembling an auto box or flippy-flappy paddles mounted on the steering wheel, there are a plethora of automatic cars for sale that will let you waft down motorways effortlessly or allow split second gear changes when mated with the right auto gearbox.
The Citroen DS4 is a luxury hatchback that should deliver thanks to its fine looks, high quality interior and, for fans of small automatic cars, an optional six-speed electronic gearbox featuring a variety of modes including a 'Sport' mode for quicker up-changes.
Those in need of a reasonably priced motorway cruiser should check out the 2011 Peugeot 508 saloon, a car with presence by the bucketload. It also has the potential to be the perfect plutobarge for those of us used to racking up higher mileage.
Higher up the food chain both Mercedes and Audi have new models for auto fans, with the new Mercedes CLS and the new Audi A7 Sportsback. And don't forget the new boy on the block, the Nissan-owned Infiniti M saloon. In particular the M37S features sports suspension, 20-inch alloys and a paddleshift-operated seven-speed auto transmission.
For those who prefer a new diesel automatic cars, hold out for the Infiniti M saloon diesel arriving in October.
