2006 Vauxhall Zafira Design review from UK and Ireland
"Good all rounder with power to spare from new engine but its a bit noisy."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Slight delay on occasions when accelerating, can be annoying when trying to get into traffic.
Very annoying single, "clunk" coming from under drivers foot well about ten seconds after starting off. As if a cable is sticking then coming free suddenly. Dealer has stripped down the bottom of steering column already, but found nothing.
Any ideas please? I am being driven demented!!
General comments?
Like the car design and the spaciousness. We waited ages for the factory fitted sat nav, which covers all of western Europe, and the panoramic roof feature. I am managing 40mpg on a long journey and the engine is still "tight" so things are looking good for our usual drive to Italy and France. The new engine seems a bit noisier than my last Astra SXI, but is nippy enough. Previous comments about the new handbrake shape and indicators are correct, what a pain! They take a bit of getting used to. Now if the dealer can find the mysterious clunk which happens once after driving off everything will be great!
