Had one for a few years. Still love it despite the faults!

[@williamb304]

what a classic

[@MrRohanThomas]

2:40 it was the best looking MPV at its time

[@MrRohanThomas]

Yeah Alahambra sports looks quite nice but Zafira GSI looks gorgeous :D

[@ragasdapper]

The GSI zafira is still the best looking till this day

[@zenna6000]

I remember this car my perants used to have one

[@tawhidmir]

i used to have a black zafira club

[@williamegler8771]

Since Vauxhall had little to no design input the inoffensive design was courtesy of Opel . Vauxhall has not designed a vehicle since the original Viva. Vauxhall is just the marketing/sales outlet for Opel in the UK selling production variations of the equivalent Opel model.

My cousins mum and my mum have the exact same car we have a 2008 Vauxhall zafira breeze vvt exlusiv petrol

[@minorearthmajorsky1476]

complaining about that multifunctional trip computer. As the camera was showing us that screen you said "who need to know the time date and the weather" event though it was showing you the trip distance.

[@KPKaccountt]

I used to have one. Very comfortable car and fun to drive. My only complain is the rear legroom, it's worse than a Toyota Yaris !

[@MrRohanThomas]

not the passenger leg room, the ones all the way in the back, yes there is not much space but you can move the passenger seat forward. Zafira was meant to be compact.

[@anthonyperkins7556]

@@MrRohanThomas Even so, the third row not good for long journeys if you're an adult.

[@zenna6000]

Well I sat in the third row allot it was comfortable so idk what your talking about buddy

[@anthonyperkins7556]

@@zenna6000 Third row comfort is no good if you are of 6ft stature or taller. I'am of 6ft 2" height, and took a short hop journey in a Mk1 Zafira's third row and my god, my legs ached once I struggled out of the third row seats which proves how cramped that it was. A lot of reviews say the third row of a Mk1 Zafira are only really suitable for young children on long journeys, adults will only find real comfort in the Zaf's 2nd row of seats. The two boot floor seats are not really designed for tall adults at all, as I found to my cost. I wouldn't subject adults to trips in the third row of a Mk1 Zafira. Mk2 Vauxhall Zafira MPV's are not much better for adults in 3rd row, the final replacement Zafira Tourer is also unsuitable for carrying adults 3rd row too. If you want third row comfort for tall adults, the Zafira is not a good choice at all.

@@anthonyperkins7556 I think it's meant for kids n teens , plus it's got hella big bag space for shopping

[@watarod]

[@anthonyperkins7556]

Third row only good for kids. Adults won't like it, it's tight and cramped.

[@bigearedmouse17]

Anthony perkins; With the seats down could you sleep in it ?

[@anthonyperkins7556]

I suppose you could, but it might be questionable comfort

[@bigearedmouse17]

Thanks for Reply Anthony, Also is it True Cambelt Change can cost up to £1400 as am going to look at a Zafira Tomorrow ?

[@anthonyperkins7556]

If you go to an independent Vauxhall specialist, expect to pay between £146 and £163, but if you go to a Vauxhall dealer expect to pay between £201 and £224.

[@bigearedmouse17]

Thankyou very much Appreciate it.
