Yeah, suspected this might be the case. I'll get used to it. Probably.
On a slightly related note I had and almost new Zafira rental in Spain a couple of years ago (I actually rented a Corsa because I'm cheap, but it broke and I was "upgraded"). This had a 1.4 engine and autobox with tiptronic. Oh joy I thought, how is this unwieldy underpowered behemoth an upgrade....?
The engine was actually better than expected, but the gearbox was just woeful. It's changing habits were so erratic I presume it was broken and the tiptronic was no help as it tended to deny you gears that were perfectly reasonable, even necessary, and then immediately select them if you returned to auto mode. Hateful thing.
