I would highly recommend it to anyone - the seat configuration is brilliant, the automatic handbrake gives you an edge on the lights (I mean, makes hill starts far easier lol) there is loads of storage etc

We have the dCI 120 1.9 Privilege - I don't think there is anything I would criticise about it to be honest!

good to know was thinking about the dcI too (we have the 1.8 16v sport) at the minute

like the zaffera too but it doesnt have the ncap rating

The downside with the Zafira is the seat configuration - you have to slide the entire 2nd row forward to put up the 3rd, then slide it back into place again. With the grand scenie, they just flip out of the boot - minimum effort, and the power is fantastic. its great leaving boy racers at the lights in their 205 gti's (only when the kids aren't in the car of course). I am getting about 40-45 to the gallon out of it too and I'm not the slowest of drivers....

I'm looking at chipping it too, which will give it 140bhp!! We chipped our van and it increased fuel consumption by 10-15 mpg and increased the power in it, so looking at doing the same with this one (even though my hubby complains that I drive too fast already!! lol )

that is a silly mpg increase - is it expensive to chip? and does it make insurance much different?
