I think the Zaf-C is one of the few out there with old-school traditional slush box autos.

All the better for it, liking the Daddy bus a commuter.  :)
Astra K, obviously.

Sorry yes and other Vauxhalls, Mokka, Insignia etc. Now PSA owns Vauxhall, they may start putting their own crap in.  :(
I think, despite the scare stories, most people don't even notice any difference. There are bound to be some who have problems, but isn't that the same with anything?
Wifey's K has had problems, but Vx have fixed them promptly and courteously, with no mention of money changing hands and always provided a courtesy car.
I cannot recommend Perrys in Barnsley enough, they are how a main dealer should be. I cannot recommend Evans Halshaw at all, they are not interested once you've bought a car.

Snap on my experience, first Zaf came from them at St Albans. Second from Drive Bristol, the after service has been much better.

Wifey has a 18 plate i20 and she’s received impeccable after sales service from Spirit Hyundai in Northampton. I’d get an automatic i30 (which she had before) but I just love the fiesta.

Its well known what I think of most Fords. But I do have a soft spot for the little Fifi.  Despite Fords attempts to knacker the handling, I still prefer it to other small cars like the Corsa and Polo.

I know its off topic as its not an auto, but my son has a 15 plate Fez ST, and by f*@k what fun to be had in a sub 10 grand car. I will state that as its basically a go-cart, I could never use it as a daily driver.
He drives it like Miss Daisy though and has it sitting at around 47 mpg for his usual uni commute, what a waste.  :y :y

I drove a 14 plate Agila auto the other day, it felt quite nippy around town.
The shifter  went down the thru gate : D  /2 / L  not sure what flavor of g/box that was  ???
