1999 Vauxhall Zafira Comfort review from UK and Ireland
"Mechanically poor"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 3200 miles - the windscreen would not demist without putting the air con on. Returned it to the dealers who did something - and it appears OK now.
At 7400, 7500, 7600 and continually up to 13500 miles the engine cuts out under deceleration (i.e. approaching a junction or roundabout). The car has been in to the dealers on six occaisions for this problem and it has yet to be resolved. I was told by Vauxhall that it was the fuel I was using - I don't think SO!!! Still waiting to hear what this months reason is.
Also find that the trim around the ignition and door handle etc gets scratched very easily making the inside of the cockpit look tatty.
General comments?
Very poor reliability.
Cutting out causes serious doubts in safety of the vehicle.
Dealer slow to respond
Space and comfort in the car is second to none in this class.
