2001 Vauxhall Zafira Comfort SE review from UK and Ireland
"A great all round performer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely Nothing has gone wrong which can be accredited to a fault of the car.
The front brake disks and pads got replaced at 27K, one side was binding slightly and caused uneven wear, but this was down to a build up of brake dust and an unseasonably dry UK (no rain to wash the dust off). If I had thought I should have hosed the brakes when I clean the car.
General comments?
The performance is outstanding, but unfortunately this leads to low MPG. The best I have managed is 27 mpg driving as frugally as possible.
Build quality is excellent, our car was built in Germany and it shows.
Handling is very good, but be prepared for the traction control kicking in if you push hard around bends and roundabouts, especially in the wet.
I have seen an indicated 135mph on an Autobahn, and the car was rock solid.
