Don't buy an auto mitsi. Boxes are utter rubbish.

Also be sure to avoid cvt boxes (jazz, primera etc).

Hondas are priced pretty well and reliable in nz. Toyotas are overpriced to hell.

They are ok if you service them. I have a Auto Magna and it still has the original transmission. The oil and filter was replaced (transmission) every 30,000kms.

Totally agree, my gf had a 2005 vectra CDXi and it was nothing more than a money pit, fix one thing for another thing to bust
