2006 Vauxhall Zafira Club 1.8 from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Nice family car
Faults:
Rear hand brake failure on hill after being parked for 20 minutes. Hand brake was on full. Has anyone had the same problem?
General Comments:
Very happy with the car all round up to now, until it rolled backwards into some garages at the rear of my work, causing immense damage.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

"When picked the car up, there were 2 dents and scratches, and I was told I got what I paid for."
I can't believe you accepted a) being treated like that and b) the car in that state. I would have walked away there and then personally.
I recall going to collect a brand new Renault Megane once which had a small but deep scratch on the tailgate (not mentioned, but left for me to notice). Despite assurances that it would be taken care of, I point blank rejected the car on the spot.
I'm not asking for miracles. I've paid for a new car - it should be in perfect condition. Anything less means the Sale of Goods Act applies, as the car is not of merchantable quality, or as described (new).
On a more general note, being treated like this when you collect your car is hardly a good indicator of how you're going to be looked after if ever it goes wrong.
