Exhaust was blown, oil was leaking from the engine and the steering column would have to be lined up a certain way to even turn the key. Not as described at all.

Just bought my fifth Zafira in 20 years! Love the view above most cars while driving and the easy access - no stooping. And the flexibility of the seating 2,3,4,5,6 or7 seats

Vauxhall Zafira (2005-2014) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Lots of car for not much money | Reliability is a serious concern |
| Performance models are surprisingly good fun | Disappointing interior quality |
| Space for up to seven with clever and flexible seating | The Zafira Tourer is a better car, if you can stretch your budget |
Quick Summary
The Vauxhall Zafira (2005-2014), the second generation, is an affordable seven-seater compact MPV based on the Astra platform. Stretched upwards and outwards with an extra row of seats, it offers impressive space for passengers, particularly in the middle row. The clever Flex7 independent seven-seat system allows flexible customisation, with the third row best suited for children. Boot space is tight with all seats up at 140 litres, but expands to 645 litres with the third row folded and a generous 1,820 litres with all rear seats flat. A 2008 facelift brought minor visual tweaks and enhanced safety features.
The Zafira prioritises comfort over driving excitement, offering a firm but adequate ride suitable for long motorway journeys. Engine options include 1.6, 1.8, 2.0-litre turbo, and 2.2-litre petrols, plus 1.9-litre and later 1.7-litre CDTi diesels. The post-2007 1.6-litre petrol is recommended for its balance of efficiency and practicality. The sporty VXR variant provides an exciting alternative. Running costs are low, with affordable purchase prices and cheap parts, though reliability concerns require careful pre-purchase inspection. Regular maintenance includes water pump and belt replacement every 40,000 miles and cambelt changes every six years or 100,000 miles.
Best for: Budget-conscious families needing seven-seat practicality, those seeking flexible seating arrangements, and buyers interested in the fun VXR performance variant.
Not ideal for: Those prioritising interior quality, drivers concerned about reliability without professional inspection, or those seeking a more refined alternative like the Zafira Tourer.
Comparison vs Key Rivals
| Vehicle | CarGurus Expert Rating | CarGurus User Rating | Good/Great deals % | Overall CarGurus Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vauxhall Zafira | 2/5 | 4.1/5 | 32.1% | 3.9/5 |
| Ford Fiesta Mk7 | 4/5 | 4.2/5 | 33.5% | 4.2/5 |
| Vauxhall Corsa | 3/5 | 4.7/5 | 36.6% | 4.3/5 |
| Hyundai i20 | 4/5 | 4.7/5 | 32.2% | 4.4/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the Zafira if: You need seven-seat practicality on a tight budget, value flexible seating arrangements, or want an affordable performance option with the VXR variant.
Consider alternatives if: Interior quality is important, you're concerned about reliability without professional inspection, or you can stretch your budget for the superior Zafira Tourer.
Competitive Position: The Vauxhall Zafira (2005-2014) offers exceptional value as a seven-seater, delivering impressive space and clever seating flexibility at an affordable price. However, reliability concerns and disappointing interior quality place it below rivals like the Ford S-Max and newer alternatives. Its low purchase price and cheap running costs make it attractive for budget-conscious families, but thorough pre-purchase inspection is essential. The fun VXR variant provides an unusual performance option, whilst the Zafira Tourer represents a superior alternative if budget allows.
