| General comments: |
Overall, we are very pleased with this vehicle. With two children and one-on-the-way, we knew we wanted something larger than a regular car. The 7 seats are exactly what we needed, and my 10 year old loves to go into the very rear seats, even if he is the only passenger in the car. If the far rear seats aren't being used, then the boot space is adequate. We fit our baby's pushchair and our week's groceries no problem. We've gone away for the weekend a few times, and our luggage plus the travel cot plus the pushchair all fit nicely. The Zafira handles very well, more like a small car than a larger people carrier. The one fault that I think should be redesigned is where the front windscreen meets the roof. There is a significant "blind spot" there, and is really noticeable when trying to navigate through one of Ireland's many roundabouts. Sometimes, if I'm going around a bend to the right, I won't even realise a car coming the opposite way is there until it's right upon me. |
