I have a 1.9 cdti auto and still love driving it after almost 5 years of ownership. I won't be going back to a manual whenever I do change it.

Had my 2.2 direct auto Elite since July 2007. Prior to that I had a 53 reg 2.2 auto Elegance, but writ it off.

Only probs I've had with my 2.2 direct is the fuel pump and regulator - who hasn't had problems?
And a camchain tensioner, which I got replaced along with the chain, and Vauxhall footed 70% of the repair bill. Done 70,000 miles now and doesn't use a drop of oil between 10,000 mile services.

Wouldn't go back to a manual as part of my daily drive. Have to use the work pool car occasionally and hate driving it because it's a manual.

I've got a 1.9 auto, been on auto's since 1997 through disability but driven them on/off before. Box in the 1.9 about the best I've had, previous car was an Omega and it's better than that was.
