Reliability
Real problems with engine vibration at 2800-3000 RPM, Vauxhall says this is normal and comparable to other Zafira diesels. Not true, I had a previous Zafira on a 53 plate with no vibration. I also have a second 2.0 DTi on a 52 plate NO VIBRATIONS -
Image
Good image for a small MPV. Very versatile interior
Comfort
Ok, but not as good as my Toyota Previa, but there's a considerable price difference

Security
Alarm as standard would be a massive plus

Fobbed off with every excuse in the book in regard to faults
