Vauxhall Zafira
Vauxhall's Zafira has been a trend-setter since 1999, but has never been trendy

The Vauxhall Zafira seven-seat MPV is versatile and well made but is now showing its age

Supprised at your woes with the SMAX. However, you are right, looks are not everything.

It is, though, about time the Zafira got a face lift. Lets hope they don't go to the same plastic surgeon as Mrs. Beckham!!!

Had 9 months of hassle with SMAX 1.8TDCI Zetec 6sp, think the blind institute assembled it terrible build quality/panel fit and even paint peeling on front bumper, Ford dealers couldnt sort so got shut, just ordered Zafira breeze plus as I have had 2 previous shape ones and can tell you much better built, looks aint everything.
