...an Astra estate means that Vauxhall have made all the seat positions vertical. The 2nd row bench suffers from this affliction and is uncomfortable for adults. On a same day return trip from Kent to Manchester my brother was experiencing a lot of discomfort. The Zafira is also a relatively narrow car and 3 adults will become familiar.
I also had the spare wheel stolen (the Zafira shares the same wheels as the Astra, thus creating a large market ...

...neighbours). Unfortunately it took the Vauxhall garage, three diagnostic tests to find the fault. In the meantime they first advised me it was the change in temperature. Then it was a fault in the rear heated window. The rear window was replaced (over £200 via our windscreen insurance) The problem continued and was finally put down to the heating element in the side, rear window. That was replaced, and after much negotiating and pointing out that ...

...buy the car using a Vauxhall finance plan where you pay for half the value of the car over three years and there is a guaranteed value set for the car in three years.

After I stopped I went back to check how the deer was - no sign of it so I assume it had run off somewhere with a sore shoulder and a hell of a headache.

Advantages: Superbly functional and flexible Disadvantages: Seating comfort only moderate; useless centre armrest
...car choice was restricted to Vauxhall due to having GM points to redeem, but I would have bought the Zafira anyway, as it is unique and fits my requirements perfectly.
