yes i have recently been on a tour of the south in this including dartmoor national park and it took everything i threw at it and more - after being repaired it really is a fantastic car. thank you for your detailed overview
Your average speed is 21.8mph. That's almost purely town, not a mix of motorway + town, so the mpg is adequate. At that rate 58 litres would last for around 391 miles. Use a calculator for God sake! And there's tons of storage space, it even has 2 glove boxes. And the screen brightness is adjustable. It's also available with a much larger screen. Seriously, what kind of review is this!!!?
Larger screen two gloveboxes all come after the facelift and I mentioned at the start this is a pre facelift version. So please get your facts checked before commenting
You've got to be kidding. The second glove box is clearly visible in the video. You just don't know how to open it, I guess. And it still doesn't make up for the terrible calculations.
I own a zafira Tara 🤨 I'm sure it's tourer 😑 mines mint it's nice to drive quick and has plenty of mpg it does 35mpg for city and 54mpg for motorways not going 70 all the time 😇
@@danielharris2689 Hi daniel, i am looking to buy zafira tourer 1.4 petrol. is your car also has the same engine and are you referring the mpg from 1.4 petrol engine with full loaded car
The car has a second glove box and I understand what you mean about all the unnecessary dash board space but if they go rid of it they’d have to move the front doors forward and everything it would be impossible
Yes I know but a bit more consideration with the platform and design then it could have been an even better car. Thanks for the second dashboard though👍
@@rebeccabaker8824 its on the top of the dashboard, right above the lower glove box, and the opening button is hidden in the slot below it. There are plenty of actually good reviews of this car here on youtube. This is not the one you should be looking at.
I have the 2lt cdti Elite and average 55mpg on long motorway runs, loads of front storage but admittedly the elite layout is a lot different with, a large display as well , deffo your mpg is wrong i get that that just driving in town with loads of stop/starts
Had mine for 4 years, really reliable and it is the fastest car I have owned.
Really agree with the speed part, it always surprises me with how responsive it is
How is it in fuel?

I would definitely buy it, due to its enlightening mirror 😃
I was really keen, but then I reflected about the glove box and my big mittens…
Well my tourer 2015 diesel 2.0 does 52mpg so I think you need to check your stats again

And you can get it with a navi screen from 2012.

panel light brightness done by dial beside headlight switch with side lights on even says in hand book
This was meant to be a sort of comedic video but oh well
My 2.0 Turbo diesel Zafira Tourer averages 38.5 mpg - but that's a 200 mile A road round trip each week rather than urban use.
Yeah makes sense that longer trips do wonders for the economy
A good way to do the review so one cane compare the pros and cons, well done 👏 👏

@@thegeneralist6388 yeah I get where your coming from
The big space is for safety reasons in an accident if you sat on the engine would you like it taking your feet of in bad accident
Where's the 2nd please? Just bought this car so I'm still exploring it 😊

I have bought one on a 14 plate and getting 55.7mpg so yours must be faulty
It actually is in the garage so...
So is his maths!
Diesel ?
You have the cheapest Version , therfore the small Screen.
The dash is big since it covers the engen bay .
And take the manual
It's not the cheapest version it's the the preface lift version where even the top spec had the same screen. Also it petrol
Try servicing the car been in motor trade 25 years and that engine bay is
A car that done more miles than it says on its dash ?
Yes a good advice,.car has been regularly serviced but the mpg issue is common in petrol Zafira tourers many owners have reported it on forums
@@thegeneralist6388 the turbo isn't meant to be used all time that's what drinks the juice it supposed to be driven in a sensible manner.
@@bovis31 it is driven in a sensible manner I drove it like this just for the test to see every aspect of the car
Muy bueno analysis
Nice

The brightness has been turned down and if the was smaller you would hit your head of the windscreen
Mine does 44 miles to the gallon so yours is fucked
Yeah right now it's in the garage been there 4 months
