Vauxhall Zafira (2005 - 2014) 1.9 CDTi Breeze (120ps) 5d (2008/08) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I'm married with kids, therefore broke!

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

It's a Zafira - it's almost camoflaged. It's the most unexciting car on the planet. It doesn't get noticed, but I dont want it to.

Would you buy this car again and why?

No, Not again, never....

What are you likely to buy next?

No idea.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£9,000

When did you buy the car?

March 2011

Did you get a good deal and why?

I paid a fair price for what it was, it was not a bargain but it was not over-priced.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

It was good value.

What was the dealer like?

It was a car supermarket, they were fine - better than the dealers I had been to.

What's it like to drive?

The diesel is an awful starter from cold. However, when running and warmed runs well. Handling is good for a vehicle of its size. MPG figures are not even close to what Vauxhall quote.

What's it like to park?

Ok, no different to any car of its size.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Yes... DPF fault 3 weeks out of warranty - Vauxhall were a nightmare and no help. Trim has fallen off. Heater fan stopped working. Steering wheel controls work on and off. Split turbo intercooler pipe. The handle that lifts the 7 seats up came off.

What's most practical about your car?

Good size boot when the 3 row of seats are down.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

None
