Mondeo MKII 2.0 131 Horses + Automatic

Mondeo MKII 2.0 131 Horses + automatic recommended?? Hello, need a car and stumbled over a 2000 MKII, 2.0 liter 130 hp only ran 70,000. But now it comes, automatic. Have heard of problems of Ford automatics more often… is that right in combination with the “big” machine…… would you take that??? What about the consumption of automatic and 2.0 liter greeting Rudi (Yes, Santa coming soon……)
