Right just sold the X5 as i need 7 seats

Was gonna go ML, But now thinking Zafira GSi?!??!

Anyone had one or want to add some serious pro or cons???

Thanks
Nick

 

they are bloody fast, they look awsome and sound great!

I really like the new ones, i only seen one!

 

bmw merc
vauxhall hmmmmmmmmmmm

 

Yeh i know its a vauxhall, but getting divorced, need 7 seats.
The trouble with the ML it has the shit road tax and not exactly well built.

i love the gsi's mate . never drove one and cant afford one . but if i could id definetly be test driveing a zafira before anything else

 

The back 2 seats aint the most spacious, but fine for kids etc etc.

Quite quick for what they are though!!!

 

Is it any cheaper on road tax? i thought the GSI's were still high??

 

been there done that got the t shirt well she did
if you are getting divorced my advice is sell everything buy an old reno espace and stash the cash and lie through your teeth cos she will

 

Wouldn't touch a Vauxhall with a brage pole.
I know a several people at work that have them (Astra and Vectras mostly) as company cars and nobody is happy. And all prefered the Ford equivalent they had previously.

Issues include:
Dodgy electrics windows and locks
Aircon problems
Crank pulleys
Other mechanical problems that i can't remember at this moment.
Unrefined
And shit service standards.

Based on this i'd always go for the Ford equivalent, eg C-Max or S-Max with the Focus ST engine in.

 

S-Max is worth a look, even an Espace. I've driven a Zafira Sport and it was quite nice. MLs are thristy and even the cops down't like them.

 

Zafira GSi's look the nuts for what they are.. What about a V70? the prices of volvo's have really fallen lately

 

C max is too slow and does not look that good in my opinion.

Only need the back seat for kids so should be ok.

And i am quite impressed by the GSI looks, although slighlty worried by the list of problems that someone just put up!!!!

GSI are still lower tax, its the new VXR that are band G.

But 7.4 to 60 sounds fun and with a re-map (stu or courtney) will be quite lively.
Thinking black with recaro's, light tinted windows and my private plate

our lasses brother is thinking of selling his....2003 52 plate in blue with 42500 mile fsh. looks very nice and very clean and has half leather which the 2 front seats are recaro's....and it has a courtney chip with the 2.2 air box also done by courtney...I can put some pics up if you want.......

He is a professional valeter for subaru so it has always been kept mint..

 

GSI`s are going up in road tax aswell

Pics would be good mate.
And pm me a price if poss

Nick

 

will do ill tell him to send me some....then ill put them up for you

 

 

I know someone that has one, think he`s happy with it. He`s on here somewhere....

 

i work for vauxhall and in my dealer we have had no major issues with any yet

 

Ive just left after 3yrs working for Vauxhall...the GSI Zafira's, as mechanic28, dont seem to have any major issue's. They are mainly based on the Astra which tbh is quite a reliable car, both G and H models. Vauxhall Vectra's on the other hand never seem to be right...think the name Vectra is cursed, probably why they are scrapping it now
