Vauxhall Zafira 2.0 DTi Energy 5d (2004/04) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Not bad compared to other cars. The Energy model was better value but only because I would have wanted all the extras it came with. The extra 2 seats get used a fair bit as well.
Costs
Only spent out for one service and a couple of tyres after 25,000 miles. Generally get 40mpg but have achieved 50mpg on a straight run at 60mph.

On the road
Driving
Good visibility and nothing broken off yet.
Performance
Well you don't buy a diesel one of these for performance, but it's actually not too bad, quite nippy for what it is.

Living with it
Reliability
This is my second Zafira and neither ever let me down. My kids trash mine with mud and chocolate, but it's cleans up so easily.
Image
It's an MPV and a Vauxhall, but they don't look out of place on the road.
Comfort
Pretty good comfort, and in my opinion, quieter than the 1.6 & 1.8 petrol version at motorway speeds, because it revs about 1000rpm less at 75mph.

Security and Service
Security
Would have given it 5 if it wasn't for the known issue about the spare. I've never had one taken, but it's usually somewhere secure.
Service
No hassel, quick and simple, just what you need with a busy life.
