Vauxhall Zafira Review
Published: 10th February 2007
Although not a contender for the next British Rally Championships, the ride for both front seats and the cheap seats in the rear stalls is confident and comfortable. A recent six-and-a-half hour journey along England’s South Coast with seven bods (4 of whom were in the throes of prime teenagerhood) and their baggage ended with nerves intact and a noticeable absence of moans and groans. Can’t be bad!
Another big bonus with the Zafira compared with its rivals, is the ease with which you can move, slide, drop, or magic-away the back seats. Who else, on an impulse purchase at Ikea, could fit a set of steel-frame bunk beds, two mattresses, 4 under-bed storage boxes (and the other 5 carrier bags that everyone inevitably picks up from Ikea when going to buy some candles), inside the car, with all doors closed? I reckon we could even give Pickfords a run for their money!
Overall, the Zafira has been a complete revelation. I never expected so much space, comfort, practicality, economy and performance to be available in one low-cost package. For those with seven family members to take from A to B, I wouldn’t recommend anything else!
