The gearbox is amazing when pushing.
At a crawl and slower paces, it can be slightly jumpy and "kangarooish" as I've heard some people describe the BMW gearbox (ZF)
Besides that, it's spectacular
Pros: amazing when pushing, spectacular
Cons: jumpy at slow paces, kangarooish
Vehicle:
Toyota Supra
The ZF8 is not bad at all. IMO it's probably one of the best automatics you can have for a sports car. No complexity of a dual clutch, smooth shifting in all cases, fast enough shift speed in sport mode, and proven reliability.
Pros: one of best automatics, smooth shifting, fast shift speed, proven reliability
Vehicle:
Toyota Supra
The ZF8 pairs better than the manual. It’s one of the best transmissions ever made and was what Toyota tuned the supras engine around originally.
Pros: pairs better than manual, one of best ever made
Vehicle:
Toyota Supra
I prefer the ZF8 transmission over the GRC manual. You can’t out-shift a computer, and the responsiveness lets me engage with my style of driving.
Pros: preferred over manual, responsive
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
The auto transmission in the 3rd gen has some odd tuning from the factory
Cons: odd factory tuning

The five speed automatic in those things are absolute trash.
Cons: absolute trash
Vehicle:
Honda Pilot
getting a used A8 is playing Russian roulette with getting the shudder which can range from a $300 transmission flush to replacing the TC
Cons: shudder issue, costly repairs
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Camaro
Part number: 8L45
4T60E gearboxes weren't great for reliability behind a V8.
Cons: poor reliability
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Monte Carlo
2015 ford fiesta with the shitty automatic. About the only redeeming quality that thing had was its 40ish mpg when it actually worked.
Cons: shitty automatic, unreliable
