    Hi everyone,
    I ve got a 2008 1.3 Copen. I have developed a neurological problem with my leg so I have to drive an automatic from now on. I really do love the Copen, so Im looking if there is a way to convert it to automatic. I'm pretty sure there weren't any automatic cars imported where I live (Greece) so i am checking to see whether it is possible to use an automatic gearbox from a Sirion or Cuore, which I suspect would be using similar parts.
    Any ideas if this is even possible?

    I don't know about those cars, but I do know in Japan there was automatic Copens.
    I found this video where someone converts an auto to a manual (reverse of what you want)
