The advantage over the Galaxy,sharan,alhambra clones are the use of the extra two seats.

I purchased mine using GM points and got a brand new Zafira for less than the price of a used one on the same forecourt. Can't wait for the kids to ask for a lift its a pleasure to drive with the added confidence that all seven seats have three point seat belts no worrying over which one of the three children have to sit in the rear lap belt.
