2001 Vauxhall Zafira Elegance review from UK and Ireland
"Never buy another!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had the car from new in October 2001. Within 17,500 miles the engine failed and had to replaced. The garage said it was driver error and Vauxhall would not foot the bill. There were no warning lights to tell me there was no oil and the dipstick showed oil everytime. So £4500 later I had a new engine.
13/11/02 Engine caught fire and seized. Now on a Diesel that's quite something. The new engine had only done 15000 miles, again no warning lights!
General comments?
I chose the car as I have a bad back and the seats actually help. Shame the seats won't fit into another car!!!
