For
The Vauxhall Zafira 1.8 VVT Design brings decent equipment for the money - CD player, rain-sensing wipers, air-con and electric rear windows. The 1.8-litre petrol engine is flexible enough to deal with the Zafira's size and most loads.
Against
Diesel engines are more capable still, and several key rivals, including the VW Touran, offer a better-quality finish in their interiors, and a little more refinement.
What Car? says
2
out of 5 stars
The Vauxhall Zafira 1.8 VVT Design is one of the best low- to mid-range Zafiras; it provides decent performance, reasonable refinement and relatively generous standard kit for the money. Make sure you test rivals first.
