The Service Required indicator was not reset by the dealer prior to delivery.
A bolt on the engine worked loose.
Both front fog lights have suffered stone damage.
Heavy oil consumption, to the point that the engine rattled. There was no low oil light though.
Windscreen wipers do not swipe far enough on the drivers side - coupled with the wide door pillar, this leaves a large blind spot in rain.
The center seat of the middle row should have a 3-point seat belt instead of just a lap strap.
An appalling alarm sounds when the keys are in the ignition and the drivers door is open.
The front fog lights should have (cheap) plastic protective covers.
Mediocre fuel economy at just under 40 miles per gallon.
The flexible seating is great - load your car, go visit granny, offload luggage and now you have room for the grandparents (and children).
Rear parking sensors as standard would be a good idea.
The drivers armrest is stupid - when it is down, you cannot access the hand brake, moving the gear stick is awkward, and it is not long enough to comfortably rest an elbow on.
The steering wheel mounted audio controls are positioned such that you must move your hands from the 10-to-2 position to use them.
You cannot stop / start the radio from the steering wheel mounted audio controls.
Couldn't agree more re the arm rest in the middle of the two front seats.
Who designed this? I think they couldn't solve the problem and therefore just lived with it.
It is very uncomfortable to change gear / set handbrake with the arm rest down.
I agree about the blind spot which the window wipers and "A" pillar creates. I feel this is a real problem in the design of the car, and I just wondered how many people feel they are affected by this?
I agree with the comments being made. I thought it was just me. Does anyone know what the realistic mileage a 1.8 Zafira will do before major problems occur.
