I purchased this car in July 2006 after owning an early five-seat Corolla Verso and I'm very impressed by the Zafira. The whole car has a very solid well screwed together feel. The only problem I've had were faulty front suspension bushes on delivery, although these were replaced by the dealer. The Zafira is more refined than the Verso, particularly as regards to engine noise. Petrol consumption is average and the 1.6 engine, whilst not the fastest, is willing and smooth. An excellent all-round family car.
