Ford automatics

Evening gays, I mean guys 😘
I’m still looking at these Fiestas. Not interested in the hot versions and definitely not interested in the Ecowank versions either. Just a lovely 10-15 plate zetec or duratec 1.4 or 1.6.
It will be automatic unless I grow another arm over next year or so 🤔 so my question is... did ford only put the “power shift” double clutch auto transmission in these or can I get one with standard auto box and torque converter set up? I’ve heard some bad things about these power shift boxes so would prefer standard auto if possible 👍
Viral_Jim:
AFAIK, you can only get the 1.4 with a 4 speed automatic, not the 1.6. Also I think you have to look early in the production run for that shape as I think they moved everything over to Powershift at some point.
Earlier 4 speed autos were called 'Durashift' or similar. And had a more traditional looking auto J-gate shifter.
Webby the Bear:
Thanks jimmy. So pretty much the age of car I’m looking at it’s all power shift
Marks DTM Calib:
The 1.4 had a standard 4 speed auto option, no idea how available these are.
The 6 speed is the dual clutch Powershift.
I personally hate the Fiesta, never enjoyed them, I would be looking towards an i10 or similar for a small hack
Webby the Bear:
Do we know anything about the reliability of the power shift box?
