The Vauxhall Zafira Is Fun To Drive

Vauxhall Zafira has clever seating arrangement, top practicality and good build quality and it makes a great family car. It’s competitively priced, too, and offers a wide choice of engines and trim levels. The ride is comfortable and the big Vauxhall soaks up bumps with ease. The Zafira is available with a huge panoramic glass roof, which also features overhead storage. This is a worthwhile addition, as it allows loads of light into the cabin and improves practicality. The sporty VXR version is a great choice for those who need a more practical motor, but don’t want to give up on driving thrills as it’s very quick and a lot sportier than its rivals.

The Vauxhall Zafira engine s are 1.6 and 1.8 VVT units give a decent performance, and the Ecoflex version’s 1.7 diesel gives 108bhp. However, it’s the diesel’s extra torque that we appreciate most and which makes it better suited to the demands of a family ferry like the Zafira. The interior is also stylish and constructed from materials that feel more expensive than rivals.
