As some of you have noticed, my old red MV6 has moved onto pastures new,

Picked up its replacement on Friday morning, and generally quite pleased...

Got a 2008.5 Zafira B Elite, 1.9 Diseasal, 150bhp, 48K on the clock.

Its no Omega...but fits the bill for our current requirements.

Nice to drive, and smoother and quicker then I expected, economical too.  6 gears is going to take some getting used to though after an automatic!

At least we still have the other MV6 for playtime

We all so keep a people mover for when the whole tribe want to take off together. Always had Seat Alhambras in the past but now have an S-Max. Really nice drive and a good level of trim.

I will probably be needing one of these soon, although my budget doesnt stretch as far as yours and I will be getting rid of the O-mega 

Looks nice from the side and rear view, not so much from the front

Looks well

I'm surprised to see an Elite Spec on an 08 that doesn't have Nav and/or BT Integration

There comes a time in life when you have to be practical and sensible, it comes with children and age.....

Yet   Keeping an eye out for a cd 70 navi and colour screen...Not very common in piano black though, considering a contrast.  also need to stick to a newer cd 70 unit to keep the aux-in working.
and possibly bluetooth kit to go with it too..
Else may go for a Parrot 9200 for bluetooth, with sd card for the tunes.

Yes, surprising the amount of things missing I would expect on an Elite.

I wish manufactures would consolidate ranges a bit, must be 10+ zafira's..

I would like 'windy' windows banned
Then Basic, Mid, Fully loaded, and sport models.

Would surely be cheaper to market and produce, and easier for the customer.

Few bits want a little tarting up on it, but was about the best I could find without travelling the entire country over and over again.  Seen a fair few of these now, ranging from ok at best to downright crap.

Already enabled the hidden 'speed dependant locking' feature that the ecu supports, but VX wont turn on for some reason, using a '3rd party tool'

Whats that?......

Good luck on the hunt for the CD 70 Navi

TBH, I think I'd be considering other options... Parrot 9200 is a good kit and supports stereo music streaming IIRC Perhaps nav app on your phone for those odd occasions it's actually needed now?

[Jimbob]

basically activates the central locking when you hit 10mph, and unlocks it again when you remove the key from the ignition.

Nothing you cant do youself by leaning over and pressing a button...but nice all the same, esp with the dog in the back.

yup, the 9200 is looking tempting, esp with the vx kit so it uses the steering controls rather than its own remote..be even better if it used the screen too!

cd70 is a nice to have, not really a show stopped, and I think i'd prefer the parrot to the vx bluetooth kit for the music in facility....was hard fitting enough music onto a cd again!  That said, aux in from the phone will provide enough tunage...just a ballache plugging in every time...dont mind on long trips, but a pain on short ones.

Congrats on that , looks very comfy

Does it unlock again in the even of a collision?.......
