2002 Opel Zafira Elegance review from Estonia

Slight dashboard upholstery rattle near triangular windows in the front.

After 3 months from purchase replaced the arm holder between front seats.

Parking aid sensor faults.

So, as I got married and my family grows in vast numbers I decided to introduce myself with the growing array of family cars or MPV-s. The first thing I did was little price and feature survey of MPV-s in my local market and as you can guess the winner was Opel Zafira. Actually you can't get a 7 seater MPV priced like Opel Zafira. All those Mazdas, Peugeots, Toyotas, etc don't get close to those features at the same price level than Opel Zafira. As I aimed to the top of the line model my only disappointment was that "thigermans" do not produce Zafiras with automatic air conditioner and Parking Aid System (they told me that this particular option is for German market only!!!). So I got this desired parking aid (as my wife likes to park too) by ordering a original spare part kit. So, the only problem what stayed was the manual air conditioner. You can imagine my wife endlessly ordering from the back seat to set various temperatures because of our babies...: (

But the car itself is a good value for money. This car solves all my logistical problems. And the bottom line is - all are happy, even my mother in law who sat in the third seat row for 4 hours. Don't ask how I got her out...
