Ive driven a 2.0 dti a while back and seemed ok but is this the best one to buy or there is the choice of a few engines :

1.8
1.6
2.0 dti

Anything to be aware of or are they pretty bullet proof . Anything from 2000-2004 year .

The first thing you need to be aware of is you're looking for a car that is eleven to fifteen years old, so it will likely be clapped out.

I'm not a fan of the Dti and I've seen several 1.6's with oil consumption issues leaving the 1.8 as the one I would go for

[STEMO]

I had a 1.6 that never need topping up in three years.

[EMD]

Clapped out , no way its a vauxhall 

Thanks henry , there are loads on egay and for a reason i guess  My mate had a 1.8 and it ran ok . I think the 1.6 would be under powered for such a size vehicle anyway .

[STEMO]

Well....if you can get one for 99p, what's to lose?

GSi or VXR

They are all shite.

The Zafira-B does appear to be a decent refinement of them, with better diesel engines.

I really cannot find anything nice to say about the Zafira-A. Apart from the bigger petrol engine ones (which are thirsty), they are underpowered. They don't handle that well (obviously), and they are bloody uncomfortable.

[TheBoy]

Oh, and even my supposedly top of the range Elegance model is devoid of any buttons to break up the boredom of driving it.

I agree with The Boy.  get a Zafira B. In fact I have one for sale.

Still can't shift it then? 

To quote EMD, I'll give you 99p

Can't even give it away. It's been on ebay because the fees are cheap but I'll stick it on autotrader and see how it goes.

The 1.6 is under geared. 3000 rpm at 60 mph. I like mine, does what it needs to. Does use some oil as a know fault with this engine but not excessive. If only too be used around town no problem but constant motorway needs a bigger engine. I will upgrade to a 1.8 'B' sometime next year

Full of scammers though, more so than eBay, so need to be careful
