2009 Vauxhall Zafira Design 1.8 petrol from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Spacious reliable family MPV
Faults:
Mostly wear and tear parts replaced as the years and miles went on. No serious problems or issues. Had the famous heater transistor fixed under warranty when we bought it.
Last year it was scrapped due to needing a new clutch, and the car was generally rough and older and high mileage, so it was not worth doing.
General Comments:
Zafira was an excellent family car I had for ten years.
Very comfortable interior, good visibility all round. Design model is near top of the range, plenty of equipment.
Decent to drive, 1.8 petrol is probably the best all round engine, fast enough and did 36 - 40 mpg. 1.6 is weaker and not much better on fuel, and I have heard the 1.9 diesel is not very reliable.
Overall a decent car. Considered a Vauxhall Insignia next, as I like Vauxhall's, but have since moved on to a Ford Mondeo which so far is excellent.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
