Is this a new twist on expiring after warranty is out?

My GF has just bought a Honda Jazz, secondhand. 09 plate, about 29K on the clock. She liked it when she test drove and it's a very nice car in many respects but the automatic box is a disgrace. It's an automated manual box and the changes are slow and unpredictable. OK, it should give better fuel economy than the older conventional auto that used to be on the Jazz (I test drove one some years ago and it was lovely) but it's not well conceived. I'm used to the DSG box on my Golf which gets it right just about all the time and again should give better than manual economy as there's no torque converter.
