| Contrà´le technique |
| Zafira fits seven seats into a body that's almost the same length as an Astra estate. It does it using the clever 'Flex-7' fold-away seating system, freeing up load space when you?re not carrying a full crew of family and friends. This feature puts it ahead of Picasso, Scenic and most other midi-MPV rivals. Based on the 1998-04 Astra, Zafira is fairly cheap to run and increasingly cheap to buy. Used prices start at under £5000. The interior is airy and roomy for five plus luggage but you'll need a roof box for holidays with all seats in use. The 1.6 16v engine that works well in Astra is slightly overwhelmed by Zafira's extra weight; the 1.8 16v is preferable. The 2.0 Di diesel is sluggish. The 2.0 Turbo and 2.2 16v are lively. Easy to drive with a high driving position, Zafira feels quite nimble despite unavoidable body roll. |
