Having created the template for the seven-seat compact MPV in 1997, Vauxhall was first to deliver a second-generation version to the market. And buyers are happy with the package. However, there are a few surprising areas of concern. Despite having one of the most car-like seating positions of any MPV, the Zafira was only 90th in ease of driving, while 49th for comfort is not good for a people carrier. But practicality is great, while reliability betters Citroen’'s Picasso and Renault'’s Scenic.
