Vauxhall Zafira 1.6 Club (mpv)

Overall rating:

Value rating:

Compact MPV with seven seats (third row folds into floor); generous spec.

Reliability rating:

Zafira is a new design, but is it more reliable than old Vauxhalls? We hope so.

Driving rating:

Handles like Astra; easy to manoeuvre around town; good driving position.

Performance rating:

Compact MPV with seven seats (third row folds into floor); generous spec.

Comfort rating:

Body roll can be unsettling; rear seats only suitable for kids, middle row is a bit cramped; folding/sliding seats which need not be removed.

Safety rating:

Astra did well in the Euro NCAP crash tests, so Zafira should be very safe, too.

Security rating:

Standard immobiliser.
