General Comments:
This 2014 Zafira Tourer I'm sure was a wonderful vehicle when new. Elite is top spec and it has the lot - it is a very comfortable and practical car. Good looking inside and out. Leather seats and spacious interior.
Nice to drive as well, the 2.0 diesel with the auto box gives good performance and economy.
However I bought mine used in 2023 and the car was OK the first year or so, but has continually given issues after the infamous 100K miles mark and I do not know why it has fallen apart so quickly. I have had Vauxhall's in the past with in excess of 100K miles and they have been OK, but I do not think modern Vauxhall's are as good as old. Too many expensive problems. It was looked after well too, has full service history.
Thankfully I didn't pay too much for it. I will be selling it as spares or repairs soon to recover some money. Not recommended.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know
