Lets cut to the chase - The Auto transmission is awful, terrible, god it is bad. In auto mode you have to wait an age for something to happen both changing up and down. In fact it is one of the worst auto transmissions I have ever had the misfortune of experienceing in a car of this class. It is truely terrible! When at 40 shifting to 60 the auto allows the engine to rev so high in third until 4,000 revs and then it just clunks into 4th gear which provide the engine with a small burst of power. When slowing down the auto gears refuse to change down quickly enough, so when approach traffic lights on red and they change just as you are stopping to accelarate again is just laughable as you are still stuck in that higher gear. And that is not the worst thing, the OPC has two performance settings, sport and the OPC mode, do not engage the OPC button in Auto.

You will find the car revving to 5,500 before it changes gear and another rush of brutal accellaration hit you.

The same will be for the Holden brand where they will be importing and selling Opel cars due to Holden closing down manufacturing here.
