Good enough wee car for first time driver. handy insured. hard enough on petrol for a 1.2 about 35mpg was expecting more like 45mpg. doesn't handle the greatest but good for round the town. barely had any trouble with mine only needed a coil pack when I bought it over a year ago and has done the last 20.000 miles with out missing a beat and if anything does go wrong Vauxhall parts in general are easy come by and cheap like my coil pack was £25. My family has had several Corsa's and Nova's as both rally cars and road cars and all were very good no real bother with any of them apart from one of the nova's was put through a hedge lol. Only thing I really don't like about my wee car is that tax is nearly £80 for 6 months and the handling of the car but all in all is a good starters car.

Good reliable family car and value for money.. Driving a 2006 xafira active for 6 years and very reluctant to sell as i encountered no problems with car.. Would recommend for families :-)

The SRI insignia is a vast improvement from the Vectra SRI. The whole package is great, from driving to style and looks! Great car and a great price in the nearly new and second hand market.

Had two Zafiras, the first was 2.0 diesel (great car) unfortunately crashed it. Then bough a 1.6 petrol. Not as economical or as nippy when full load. 7 seats all have plenty of room, used it ferrying two teenage daughters and mates. Then when seats are dropped loads of space, used to take daughters stuff to uni. Petrol does about 38 mph tax is £260 per year. Had no major problems just usual wear and tear.

We've had our 1.6 petrol manual Zafira since it was 3 years old (ex-Motability car). 70,000 miles in 5 years and still on original clutch, and exhaust. It does about 38 mpg, which isn't bad for a big car. Running costs have been minimal - timing belt / water pump, tyres, brake pads etc. The AC has packed up, probably needs a new condensor but we can live without it - it wasn't great when working anyway. It doesn't rattle or leak. My wife loves it, great family car which we plan to hold on to for as long as we can.

whats to say really,reliable,solid,comfy to drive,loads of room ..i owned my vectra for around two years and sadly sold it a while back(moved to citroen)but its time now to start looking for another before they disapear for good...why buy your over priced and over rated vw/audi when vauxhall (in my eyes) are built just as well than any passat/golf/jetta

Having owned and drove a number these cavaliers over the years they are good going car and proves the point that there is still some good examples of them about today.

Parts are cheap, can do big millage with out any major issues, and still get the looks from the people who always wanted or had one when they where younger.

Firstly i have a reason for giving a good Score as i sell mostly Zafira's but this is not a sales pitch.The best thing i can say is Value For Money,and that is both petrol and Diesel versions.Most practical in regards to quick seat adjustment and the middle set on a sliding rail is excellent for extra boot space.1.9 Diesel has some minor issues (egr Valves,Flywheels)but then again every modern diesel car has the same issues and at least they are not a total fortune to get fixed.New 1.7 diesel is a big improvement.Petrols go for 1.6 as 1.8 can be a bit thirsty .Overall having sold 100s of these i can only highly praise them as not an alternative to the overpriced Ford and VW equivelents but as a much smarter and wiser investment which wont break the bank.

I have owned two Astra's both needed the starter replaced this is easily fixed for very about 80 pound for labour and parts. the first Astra i owned for one year sadly i crashed it, few cars and a few years later i bought another Astra which I've had over 2 years both have been the same year and both never wanted for nothing.

Great running car very economical and easy to insure. No complaints totally recommend to anyone who is thinking of buying one. Car looks and drives well in my opinion often over looked by more expensive competitors who have no extra benefits.

We owned a zafira for four years and found it to be a very reliable, comfortable and economical car with loads of room. We will definitely buy another Zafira.

Lovely car to drive , has plenty of performance acceleration when required. Road holding is leech-like and handling is nicely weighted balanced with good feedback through steering and Sports suspension awith 17" Alloys. Braking is easy and assured , no hysterics , no fadeout , nicely weighted pedal feel..Handbrake is not as impressive , just about does its job! Careful parking on a slope!
Fuel economy (when you consider the performance) is really good working out at(58mpg)overall..63+mpg on motorway at 80mph , around 52mpg in urban/town traffic!
Alternator burnout is common between 90-120K
miles..as is , Dual-mass Clutch failure a well known problem , also the EGR valve jamming/failing and Injector wiring loom problems(there was a recall to remedy)
Heater Fan/Blower thermistor failures are common too.. Water pump & Timing belt replacements are crucial , not to be neglected!
Other wise car is 100% reliable and requires only regular servicing , ie Oil & Filter every
20K miles if using 05-30W fully synthetic Castrol or Mobil..
Love the car , has ample interior space with good boot , good supportive seats.
Dash is typical Germanic/functional but everything works!
a Value for money car! :)

I have owned my diesel Zafira for five years and it has served me very well. It is very roomy with a huge boot. The two extra seats in the boot have come in handy on numerous occasions and are easily put up and down. Our family has had great use of this car.

Excellect car, had it for 1 year and sadly had to change. Mainly used it for up and down the motorway and £20 would usually get me about 220 miles. Never really had much bother and parts were easy to source.

I have my Vectra CDTI for 5 years and it is the best car I have ever owned. Very easy to fuel, Tax and insure. I have never had a days bother with it.
When I 1st purchased it I had planned to keep it for max 3 years - but 5 years later I still have it.
The SRI drives and handles well and has the looks to match.
This was my 1st Vauxhall having driven VW, Audi, Merc - and can safely say it wont be my last.
