Want to buy a small (ideally under 4.5 meters sedan/hatchback) that will be for mostly city driving and a little highway cruising at 70. What is the most important for me is an automatic gearbox that is smooth when I am on a traffic stop and the light shows green. I want to push the gas pedal and slowly go forward in a linear, predictable fashion (I am a novice driver with less than 1 year experience in the family Micra).

I have heard great things for the 9 tronic in the C class and not so good for DSG gearboxes and some mixed for the Aisin in XC40. Which other car strictly less than 2 tons and ideally shorter than 4.5 and petrol if possible will be a good choice?

Really weird series of posts. Like they've been written by American AI.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - the OP reads like a bot re-asking questions it's been asked.

Really weird mixture of language too, some European, some UK, some American.

No I still haven't heard a definitive answer this is why I am asking.

You won't -get- a definitive answer, because you're asking a subjective question.

There's no SI unit for "smoothness" of driving, so anything you get is at best an opinion.

Form your own.
