They don't make a a zafira gsi without a turbo. I had a fully specced sapphire black one for a couple of years and liked it. Don't expect mega mpg though. You can get a zafira a in Sri spec, looks just like a gsi with a 1.8 petrol or 2.0 dti (avoid)

Unless you get a 2.0 140bhp one and remap itOriginally Posted by mowgli
like my nephew's newish golf.... he's owned it for 2 months, and 6 1/2 weeks of that its been in having things fixed, eventually they fitted a new turboUnless you get a 2.0 140bhp one and remap it
nothing lasts forever!probably due to infrequent oil changes and poor spec oil used in the past.
Oddly enough, dealer serviced, one woman owner...
We have a 15 month old and 2 Nova's& a daily A4 Avant though..

When my missus was heavily expecting, i went & got a mk3 astra h/b.. That lasted us for 2 and a bit kids, when she finally decided we needed more space. So i went & got an omega estate 16v... She then proceeded to drive it like hell & managed to round off pretty much the whole of leicestershire with it. With 3 small kids in it.. We then bought a nearly new mitsi spacestar, and it lasted really well, with the eldest girl on the seat, the middle on a booster & little in a kiddy seat...
We now have the touran, with a large bit of help from john, spotting the exact model i was after.... It now fits us all in with several of their friends, tows a trailer tent with a heap of bikes on the roof & still turns 40+mpg... She's bounced off a couple of things & there are a few scratches, but it is going to last us about another 5 years.
Don't be fooled that you need tons of room for kids.. I have a strict rule when travelling, if i can't see out the back window, then we've got too much stuff, and something will be left behind.
MTFU and tell her if she is that keen for a new car for babies etc then why doesn't she funking buy it!
The one thing I funking hate is women thinking they can demand you drop this that and the other just because they think you should.
Tell her to get2**** and get a half normal women who understands the need for you to have your own interests and belongings...
Fecking women...
Oh and back on topic Zaf Gsi are pretty cool.
Friend of mine has a Zafira VXR. Goes well tbh. Drives nice, and is ideal for carting kids around. Only thing is fuel economy. Maybe 25 mpg on average
Silly family car.
I looked into getting one in 2010.
Abysmal fuel economy,high insurance,extortionate tax rates and expensive parts were enough to make me not bother,and i dont regret it.I bought a 1.3cdti Astra H instead.
The way i see it is if i want a fast car,i'll just build one or buy one,but for a daily with kids in and god knows how many monthly bills going out,it just doesnt make financial sense to me.
