Should I buy a Zafira?

I'm thinking of buying an 08 or 09 Opel/ Vauxhall Zafira. Are there any problems of note with the Opel/ Vauxhall Zafira auto boxes? Which is better - the 120ps or the 150ps with the auto transmission?

But there's a problem with the engine:

A Toyota Verso 1.8i Valvematic Multidrive S is your best bet buying used:
