2004 Vauxhall Zafira Energy review from UK and Ireland
"Bearing in mind the cost of other make's equivalents - good value for money!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver seat showing some signs of wear... Looks like many mini-plucks.
Fuel economy not as good as I expected... as low as 34mpg, and on a good straight run 43mpg!!
As with Vectra, heavy wearing on tyres... as I do 35k+ miles per year, I pay for better tyres - not your Kwik-Fit cheap specials!
Problem recently whereby after using 50 litres or so of fuel it cuts out - especially on a slight slope... When towed in 3rd gear it starts within 3 car lengths. When at filling station, it's a push to get more than 52 litres in. If it's a 58 litre tank, why would this happen?? It's just been serviced!!
General comments?
Higher seating is very comfortable - easy access to 'middle' seats for children & car seats.
I have driven the newer Zafira and think its smoother and nippier - total different car though!
Brilliant view (except wipers!) all round.
Good size boot (unless 7 seats which I have done once)
