    Good Points: Amazing flexibility and high seat position allows excellent visibility. Very long service intervals


    Bad Points: No CD Player, Adjustment to steering column and poor body roll


    General comments: The Vauxhall Zafira 2.0 Life Diesel is a new vehicle (less than 4 weeks old and now has nearly 4000 miles on the clock) and has been provided by my employer so spec changes were not possible.

    Initially I was surprised by the very long service intervals (20000 miles till the initial service and 20k after that). This is good as it reduces servicing costs, although I would of prefered an initial service after 1000 miles.

    The spec of the car is disappointing. A car costing in excess of £16k should not really be coming with a cassette player and fixed position steering column as standard. These features are available as extras and as standard on the higher spec models. On a positive note, there is plenty of space flexibility due to the unique seating arrangements and the abundance of cubby-holes and drinks holders (8 drinks holders in total).

    Driving the car I feel that the body roll is way to great and on more windy roads it can lead to passengers feeling a little sick. As someone who has never suffered travel sickness, I find I am able to travel only a few miles as either a front or back seat passenger before feeling a little ill.
    The 2.0 litre diesel engine is responsive and easily accelerates to a top speed of well over legal speed limits in the UK.

    Overall the car is versatile but let down badly by a few missing items and excessive body roll. If you are considering a Zafira I would recommend a thorough test drive first, specifically takin in windy countyr roads and some duak carriageway cruising.
