Is the Ford Fiesta automatic any good?

I am thinking of buying a 2012 Ford Fiesta. What are your views of the automatic gearbox on this model?

2012 Fiesta 1.4 with four-speed torque converter auto more reliable than later 2013 Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost with Powershift, even though the later car is much better to drive.
