2006 Vauxhall Zafira review from UK and Ireland
"Stylish, comfortable and a good drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Warning light came on whilst driving (spanner in car), and the EMS cut power. This turned out to be a split turbo hose. Once replaced, the car was fine.
General comments?
The car is very comfortable to drive and passenger comfort is good (even with adults in small rear seats).
There are two flaws in the design:
Not enough storage lockers / compartments.
Middle seats are difficult to slide forwards when certain types of child seat are fitted.
Economy of the diesel engine is good; 40+ min mpg.
Oil consumption issues with the older model appear to have been solved.
