Vauxhall Zafira Comfort 1.6i 16v 5-door MPV

Last year we decided to replace our ageing Polo with something more spacious to accommodate for our family growth. We were expecting to become a family of four. We moved to a new, bigger house but my wives maternal instincts didn't stop there and she suggested that a family car would be a good idea. I quickly adopted the idea as I knew that Polo is getting close to the 10th birthday and although it was a great value for money and served me well during a year of intense commuting it was destined to spend more time in garages than on the road for the rest of its life. We looked at various spacious cars which would suit our budget. The only two left in the hat ...  Read the complete review

Very impessed with this MPV, that doen't make you feel like you're driving a transit van. It literally takes 2 minutes to convert it from a five seater to a seven seater and it is so easy. The two 'extra seats' are located under the floor of the boot - you slide the whole middle bench forward and just pull one or both of them up, slide your middle seat back and Bob's your Uncle! Which is ideal if, like me you have two kids, and only occasionally need the extra seating. Boot space is somewhat limited with all seats in use, but I can still fit the buggy in. The extra height is great for lifting little ones in and out of car seats. The ...  Read the complete review

Like Dr.Who's machine, the Zafira seems bigger inside than out. I've just swapped an Astra Estate for one, and can't believe it's built on the same platform, there's so much room inside - in the front, in the back, and even in the boot. And then there's the flexibility - it can be a car,taxi, school bus or even a small van, with any number of seats from 2 to 7. If your'e interested in a new one, check out the com. model on the Vauxhall website - great value ! ...  Read the complete review

You can imagine the look of sheer terror on my face when my wife came home saying"ive chosen our new car".Hope its big was my reply(4 kids one dog cat etc etc)i looked it over the day it arrived until then i had only seen pictures fine i said half heartedly.in fact what became evedent after two or three spins about town was this was an excellant choice but us males dont like accepting we are wrong.air conditioning central locking and those neat flexable seats this is not a box on wheels but a rather refined class of transport designed by someone with more than 2.4 kids possibly.yes Vauxhall im impressed my metallic green wagon sits proudly outside my ...  Read the complete review

We got this car, as we have 3 kids, and our eldest daughter was fed up with been squashed up in the middle seat! We love it, it is just right for our family, the only trouble is, when we need to put the pushchair in the boot, we cant have the back seats up, so my daughter is still squashed up in the middle. That will be no problems though when my youngest no longer needs a pram. To change from a 5 seater to a 2 seater, takes about 5 seconds, and its not hard to do at all. When the back seats are down, the boot space is huge, when they are up, the space is quite limited. Its lovely to drive, it doesnt feel any different to driving a car. I thought it ...  Read the complete review
