Ihave now owned my Zafira for 2 years and I can say it is probably the most practical vehicle I have ever owned. The advantage over the Galaxy,sharan,alhambra clones are the use of the extra two seats. I have owned the Alhambra and found that when you needed the extra two seats you had to either leave them in folded. This cut down your available load space, or put the very heavy seats in every time. With the zafira the rear two seats fold into the floor, so are available all the time. It is a one handed job to prepare the vehicle for " bus mode". If you need to carry that awkward load on a Saturday for that inevitable DIY job the Zafira comes to the rescue. Just fold up the rear bench seat and slide the rear seat towards the front seats, and there you have it a van. The only problem I have found with the 1.6 is I feel it is a little underpowered for the vehicle. Don't get me wrong this engine will get you up to licence points speeds, but it just lets you know when you get there. I have found myself looking for an extra gear above 5th because the engine is reving quite high and producing a lot of noise. The tyres fitted to this model are 205/55/r16 they are not cheap to replace, average £90. My vehicle has just done 20,000 miles in the two years and the front tyres are just about on the limit. a service on this model is around the £200.00 mark + any extras of course. For the family I can not think of a more practical vehicle.I have never replaced a car for the same make and model before, this time I might just do that. The only change I would make is go for a bigger engine 1.8 or 2.0
