    We brought our Zafira new, it has been a brilliant car loads of room, its also a fantastic little van and has saved us hundreds of pounds on deliveries of items like large tv's tumble dryers etc. It is so very comfortable as well. Drives like a dream on both long and short journeys. The only thing I don't like about the Zafira is the auto cut out where the onboard computer tells its self that the engines flooded, though green flag did show me how to get round this pretty quick. I also don't like where the spare wheel is. Being a lady driver its impossible for me to get it off :(. All in all though the 5 years ive owned this car has been a real joy ill be sad to see her go later this year.

    Bought the zaffy private with 59k miles, ive had no problems at all as yet, ive only spent money on maintaining the car,ie cambelt etc,the gsi was my option as ive always enjoyed high performance cars, so along with the 7 seats and spacious interior it became my top choice. The gsi goes really well indeed with options to improve performance up to 300bhp without causing unreliability issues,so if your like me, a dad with a need for a toy as well as a family car then the Vauxhall Zafira GSi Turbo ...

    A pleasure to drive, very comfortable and spacious. A sports car rolled into a family size car - can't ask for any more!

    Goes like "off a stick" for a family mpv not a lot can touch it for performance.
    Very thirsty and if you have any engine trouble its down to Vauxhall for there little chaps with the computer at nice prices NOT...!

    I have the Zafira Design 2.0 DTI and I am not at all impressed as I have had Peugeot and Citroen in the past without ever any engine faults so beware if you have suddenly have high oil consumption.

    Great versatile car (looks/space etc) but def for the older family! I use to have a galaxy and the Zafira is certainly a come down. I'm now looking to change it, cannot find a 7 seater that can accommodate 7 people and 2 buggies and shopping!

    Love this for the speed, we live in Germany and it turns heads when you drive past on the motorway at 125mph!

    I have had this Vauxhall Zafira for 7 months and would not change it. I have 3 children and find there is plenty of room for everyone. The two rear seats, when folded flat do not restrict load space. The engine is very rapid for an MPV and will leave the boy racers in their GTI's standing at traffic lights and junctions. I have an Arden Blue colour and think that it is the best colour for this model.
    The GSI seems to be a rare car which is good and still turns heads.
    Anybody who needs a sensib ...

    I have covered around 7000 miles since I bought my GSI around 7 months ago and have enjoyed every minute.
    Vauxhall Zafira GSi Turbo appear to be quite rare in my opinion especially in silver (like mine) as I have not seen many on the road (just travelled a 700 mile round trip and saw only 2) and this is exactly how I like it as I like to drive something a bit different.
    The car has good performance and handling and leaves people wondering what it carries under the bonnet as they struggle to ke ...

    I traded in a 3.0 litre v6 diesel vectra for this model as I needed more space with pace - I never really thought that a car this size would actually have me smiling so much! I got a cracking deal on the Zafira GSi Turbo in the first place and to date have had no issues with it, although the car only averages around 29mpg - worst mpg was 22 - arrrrgh (this is somewhat acceptable when you consider it would rival most GTI's off the lights!)
    I read some earlier comments about the car eating tyres, ...

    I can't wait to get rid of my Vauxhall Zafira, hardest ride ever, feels every pot hole, every stone.
    Drinks more fuel than my 400bhp Skyline
    2 years old turbo failed dumped oil into exhaust thank god for warranty, fixed 2 days later head gasket went (warranty thank god)
    Front wheel fell off ball joint snaped
    Eats rubber
    Worst car I have ever owned but that what you get for buying a Vauxhall

    Everyone said that the Vauxhall Zafira GSi Turbo was a thirsty car but at 30mpg per tank, I think it's pretty good really. Beats my old 4X4 by loads. Loads of space for our 3 dogs and 4 passengers! Rocaros are great, driving position is clear, and acceleration, well we've got the fastest dog kennel for miles around. Driving 150 miles to work is a pleasure again

    I've had the Vauxhall Zafira GSi Turbo for about a month now and can't fault the car now the turbo problem is fixed. The model I have has full Recaro leather interior with heated front seats which is excellent. It is a very practical family car and an excellent sports car rolled into one. The only problem is that my wife and I argue to see who is driving it

    Bought my new GSI in sept o4, had a hard time trying to find one to test drive. Nearly bought a second hand for £17,000. 1 week later Reg Vardy knocked £3,700 off the list price of their new ones. Knew straight away I was going to enjoy owning this car, first time I've bought a car and thought I could keep this for a while, normally have a car a few month and think right which car am I going to buy next. Handles great, boot space great for all the kids things, only thing missing is a ...

    Got Vauxhall Zafira GSi Turbo People Carrier at one year old. Owned now for five months, Have been towing a large caravan about which it handled fantastic, the key to this was the superb torque at low revs, followed by plenty of turbo, with the 16 valves then kicking in, the power curve seems endless with no turbo lag.
