For The Zafira is as roomy as any mid-sized MPV, but it's better to drive than most and comes with lots of airbags as standard. Big discounts, plus the reassurance of a lifetime warranty.
Against The one-piece second-row bench means the Zafira's cabin isn't as versatile as it should be, while visibility isn't great either.

The Zafira is fun to drive and cheap to run, but some rivals are more versatile.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
The original 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.
