2006 Vauxhall Zafira 1.8 Active review from UK and Ireland
"Best in it's class for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only fault I have had with the car is the flip top lid on the 'ashtray' in the centre console near to the handbrake kept on falling off as it was loose. This was replaced on the day I went in to the dealer to show them the fault. Can't complain at that really. No other faults at all.
General comments?
The car is very spacious and very comfortable. The driving position is brilliant and is so much better than my old Astra Mk IV which got a bit uncomfertable after about 90 minutes. My only gripe is that there is not enough oddment storage in the front cabin. The middle and rear seats are fine, but there are no cup/can/bottle holders at all in the front. Not even when the glove box lid is dropped down. I miss them!
