For You get sports front seats, a body-coloured roof spoiler and a multifunction trip computer. Matching this trim level to the 1.8-litre engine keeps the price to a respectable level, too.

Against The engine will never live up to the SRi name. Plus, the SRi trim's additional kit is styling-led too, which is hard to justify, given the Zafira's ethos as a 'family workhorse'.

We'd prefer to spend the extra that SRi trim costs on a more capable engine (diesel, preferably) or toys that will make a difference inside the cabin. A cheap way in to a spoilered-up MPV.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

The original Vauxhall Zafira pretty much started a revolution when it was launched, and even though this latest version may not have the ultimate flexibility of its more modern rivals, it’s still a decent MPV.

In the front five seats, for instance, it’s as spacious as any one of its rivals, while it’s also better to drive than many.

It only really looks off the pace in the rearmost seats, which have only enough room for children, and in the centre bench, which is in one piece when many rivals have three individual seats.

For the most part, the engines are all up to the job of hauling around such a big car. However, the smart money goes on one of the smooth, punchy diesels. Likewise, we’d avoid the most basic trim, but Exclusiv will give you everything you really need.
