The VAUXHALL ZAFIRA (1999-05) 5DR MPV 1.8I 16V CLUB is a compact family MPV, taller and more flexible than a hatchback but easier to handle than a large people carrier. Its folding rear seats make it useful for changing between passenger space and luggage, a feature that helped distinguish the original Zafira. The 1.8-litre petrol engine suits everyday errands and family journeys, although buyers should expect an older car rather than modern small-car fuel economy or equipment. It is best suited to families needing adaptable space for school runs and trips, or budget-conscious drivers seeking a practical alternative to rivals such as the Renault Scénic and Citroën Xsara Picasso. mycarcheck.com logged 230 look-ups covering 81 VINs.
