2000 Vauxhall Zafira Elegance review from UK and Ireland
"A very clever design which has been very poorly executed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Arm reset came loose.
Door restraining arm came works loose.
Piece of metal fell out of driver's mirror in first week.
Drivers door locked itself open and could not be closed.
There must be an elastic band in the throttle linkage because the accelerator response is unpredictable.
Engine management system very poor - has gone into 'limp home mode' three times.
Seat material fine if you enjoy vacuuming the interior on a weekly basis.
General comments?
Unbeatable for flexibility.
Good miles per gallon for size and capacity.
Good driving position, but poor visibility due to huge pillars.
Wipers (on my model) very poor sweeping pattern for right hand drive.
Fantastically clever design, just a shame they ran out of money to actually build it properly.
Dealer service unremarkable.
