The ZF8HP auto box is superb, specially as implemented in my G31. With autohold it does not creep, but you can overcome the autohold with judicious use of the throttle, and manoeuvre - never being lurchy or uncontrollable. Bury the throttle and it will leap away like a scalded cat. Turn off autohold and it does traditional TC creep. It can shift non sequentially, missing gears as required. When wafting shifts are imperceptible, when in sport and gunning it, it kicks you in the back with power changes like a racing car sequential box, It picks power and torque change spots better than i can in manual mode. In sports mode its always in the right gear for what you need.
In fact its so good VAG are starting to use it in some audi Rx models.
