Advantages: Build Quality

Disadvantages: Seat room

Ive just this minute got back from a bowling tournament. Our bowling coach hired out a Zafira to get us there and back. There was 7 of us, and rather handily ( is that a word ) there is 7 seats.

On the way there I was sat on the second row, the leg room is ample, well maybe more than ample if it hadnt of been for the dozen or so bowling balls ladden about the car/mpv thingy.

However on the return journey, considering this is a 100 mile trip from Notts to Aylesbury, I was stuck in the back seat. If they can be called seats, the leg room is awful! I am only 5"10" and i looked like a 7fter in a train seat. I had to sit with my head on the ceiling, and rear end perched half way up the back of the seat !

The Zafira does have a lot of good points, these include decent stereo system, swift accelration and mid range pickup. The build quality is excellent and you can feel this whilst cruising along the motorway at 100mpoh, not a thing rattling or engine purring louder than a cat.

And as the man on the telly says...its got 37 ( i think ) seat combations thanks to flex 7 techonlogy. And indeed it has, very good design indeed.
