Vauxhall Zafira 1999-

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Seems slightly better than average when speaking about trade-in, people seem to value them.

    Costs

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Would like more mpg, but considering the size of car and the age of the technology, approx 44mpg isn't bad. Other than the hook to retain the spare tyre (corroded), and running costs, it has not cost me any more. Have never topped up oil - I do check!

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Because it's an MPV the driving position can be tiring, but does the job well enough.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Diesel torque makes driving quite easy. Good on motorway.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    3yrs, 74k miles and never missed a beat. The complete family car.

    They seem well regarded, but seem to announce the coming of age and practicality over style and fashion.

    Comfort

    2 out of 5 2.0

    We don't like the front seats, no complaints from passengers.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Hasn't been tested, haven't bothered with upgrade to secure the spare tyre - Vauxhall should pay for this really.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Tried a dealership closer to work - they left all the oily rags and covers on the passenger seat. They offered 10% off next service - but sometimes you only get the one chance.

  • Problems and Ownership

    Problems

    Engine

    Other
