What's to like about a Zafira? Why would you even expect to, as it is just a tool. Consider the alternatives for a budget smallish multi-seater, and tell me what else is better. Scenic or Picasso might be 'better' if you can get them to work for a decent amount of time.Good luck with that!

Expecting to like this sort of car is like getting attached to your tumble drier.

Aha, Nick. Now some people might understand why I talk about my astra estate the way I do. It does exactly what I need it to.
I'll have time for something I actually like when the lad finishes his A levels and the dog kicks the bucket.

Yep. I agree. A purely functional tool much like a washing machine.

The Signum is much the same, being practical and dull. Only the nippy V6 engine takes away the tedium.

Cant see you having that long Mr 

Had a diesel Zaffy a while back and was quite handy for the tip run and general load lugging , gutless but practical 

It's growing on me a little. It's 'ugly ducking' looks are are slowly winning me over.

It is quicker than the MV6 and effortless with it.

It should sound better than it does though.... Vauxhall missed a trick there.

Trip computer shows 24.8 MPG over the last 1000 miles.

 

I get double that in the 2.6 auto 

Really at home in the Omega's especially this my first fl 2.6 , its comfy and does everything effortless and the tyres last for years the way i drive 

That I somehow doubt

50mpg from a 2.6 V6...... Yes please.

I drive it tunnie style  Not like driving a Subaru fleeing a bank raid

My daughter had a 1.8 petrol, until she blew the gearbox up. It was black, so obviously very fast. But, I don't think she understood the concept of servicing, dipsticks, oil filters and oil changes.

It was ideal ish where she has 3 young children and when carrying the children, herself, her partner and mother, they could all fit in. Basic, but it did the job.

She has now replaced it with a Nissan Qashqai, which is much, much, better all round, including the very useful Nissan reversing camera and screen, unless you don't look at the screen as you are revering backwards towards your brothers van.

I sure Doctor Opti, will offer some suitable advice?

Many cars with such systems warn you on the screen that for safeties sake you should always lokk around when reversing-which kind of makes a nonsense of having a screen in front of you!

Good luck, there currently one of the least reliable and poorly screwed together vehicles out there at the moment based on the faults I keep seeing, plus they have the crap Renault diesel engines sadly.

I should think myself very lucky then, my 1.4 turbo petrol engine is smooth, quiet and economical along with a solid build without any rattles or squeaks, in fact it has been the perfect motor from the day it rolled off the delivery truck

Simply put if you don't like them don't buy one but if your considering one then you could do a lot worse and not much better really, this is based on the petrol engine though as I don't know anything about the diesel.
