2008 Vauxhall Zafira review from UK and Ireland
"Dangerous"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Handbrake failed.
Had car as hire car from AVIS - appeared to be in good condition.
With the handbrake on, the car rolled 50 metres across a main road and fortunately missed all traffic/pedestrians.
Looking on google; Vauxhalls appear to have handbrake problems - how many others have experienced similar?
General comments?
Car performs well, is comfortable and would make a good family car - the handbrake issue is very alarming though.
