Vauxhall Zafira (1999 - 2005) 1.6 Active 5d (2004/04) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

That I am a family woman.

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

Well 3 of my friends and family have the same car so I think I can safely say they like it too.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes definately. It fits right in with my family life.

What are you likely to buy next?

Probably a more recent model of the Zafira.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£4,000

When did you buy the car?

January 1998

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes, I had a budget so was happy with the price.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I had a 2.3 litre 7 seater that was costing too much in fuel so wanted something that was cheaper to run.

What was the dealer like?

Very helpful and easy to deal with.

What's it like to drive?

A lovely car to drive, felt comfortable in it from the first moment I got behind the wheel. Living on the Isle of Man, we don't have motorways but on the few occasions I have taken it to the UK it has been fine on the long journeys.

What's it like to park?

Very easy to park.

Have you had any problems with the car?

I have had no major problems with it, just general wear and tear that you would expect for a car of it's age. It does seem to require more oil than previous cars I have owned though.

What's most practical about your car?

With 7 of us in our family it means we can all go out together...the seats are easy to move about too.
