Vauxhall Zafira (2005 - 2014) 1.8i Club 5d (2007/07) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Sensible. Practical. Reliable...but still has the ability to do and go places you might just think I wouldn't. I'm not totally unadventurous!!

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They like it. Comment on its practicality. Think it's a "nice" looking car. One friend commented "it's a sociable car".

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes. Newer model is more streamlined with more gadgets but maintains its practicality and good looks.

What are you likely to buy next?

Something to last into older age when this one finally gives up the ghost. A Vivaro that I can convert into a camper-van.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£8,300

When did you buy the car?

March 2008

Did you get a good deal and why?

I think I got a good deal. I refused to buy or be bullied into buying add ons. ie extended warranty, breakdown insurance, "buy with confidence deal". Dealer didn`t make a huge profit.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Space and practicality. Price.

What was the dealer like?

Pushy. Presumptious. Wouldn't use them again even though the car I bought has been reliable. The pre-delivery check failed to pick up some issues. They lost the log book.

What's it like to drive?

Easy. Comfortable with good all-round visibility.

What's it like to park?

Easy.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Very little and nothing major.

What's most practical about your car?

Space. Seating options. Driving position. Good all-round vision. Comfortable and easy to drive.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

None. It's just a practical, roomy well thought-out car with lots of seating options.
