2005 Vauxhall Zafira Design review from UK and Ireland
"Build quality a disappointment"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alarm malfunction.
Tailgate plastic fitting broken.
Metallic rattle develops when hot on light throttle. Other same spec cars do not suffer same problem.
Left side rear body panel not aligned correctly with tail gate, light cluster and rear door.
Dealer says all faults characteristic of the model.
General comments?
Performs well and handles like a hot hatch.
Plastic panels inside and outside the car loose fitting and rattle.
Soundproofing in engine bay, loose and flaps about.
Not as well put together as earlier models.
Distracting reflections in windscreen.
Spare wheel easy to steal as in previous models.
