2001 Opel Zafira Comfort review from UK and Ireland
"A superb vehicle at a reasonable price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
From the outset I was having an irritating rattle from the front passenger side in the area of the seat belt fixture near the roof. Numerous visits to the garage failed to resolve this matter until I changed to a different dealership. They had the vehicle twice and after an elimination process were able to find and solve the problem.
I then became concerned about the amount of engine oil the vehicle was using. It was left in again and a leak was found at one of the gaskets. This was repaired and the engine filled up with oil. After about 600 miles I have had to put another pint of oil in the engine. I would be very concerned about this as I never had a car before that required so much oil to be put into it.
Is this normal??
General comments?
This car is very comfortable and handles like a dream.
I would not want to have to get rid of it.
