None.

General Comments:

My main gripe is poor driver visibility. Wipers on all UK Zafiras I have seen are set for continental drivers. Negotiating sharp right hand bends, eg traffic islands, in the wet leaves a dangerous blind spot with the combined effect of the wide pillars and the 3-4 inches of the screen not swept by the wipers.

Great value if purchased as an import. Paid £12,750 with VAT for a car with ABS breaking, Cruise Control, alloy wheels etc.

Faults:

The "bobinage d'allumage" well that's the word, in French packed up after 36500 kilometres. In English it is the electronic machinery that sits just inside the cover on top of the engine and has something to do with the smooth running of the plugs, I believe so anyway.

Sudden loss of oil after one journey. This happened shortly after a service, so I cannot be sure if it was the garage who hadn't re-filled the oil properly. They obviously denied it.

General Comments:

Opel France have refused to compensate the £200 or so, that the new part cost to replace even though the car had done only 23000 miles and the part should have lasted many thousands of miles more than that.

The set up is fairly good as regards the seating, but the seats are not that comfortable compared to a lot of the seats in some other Opel cars.

What is one supposed to do with the goods cover in the back when you convert to 7 in the car?

Faults:

So far so good, a great car to drive. Had initial problems with the LH rear power window, but the dealer got it fixed under warranty.

General Comments:

Fuel consumption is a little on the high side at 10 to 11 litres per 100 km when the majority of the travel is city driving.
