The market of second-hand MPV’s is full of interesting offers and sometimes it is indeed hard to decide what to choose. Yet, the used Vauxhall Zafira A is a very tempting proposition which should satisfy buyers seeking a versatile vehicle for a reasonable price. The used Vauxhall Zafira A comes equipped with a line-up of both diesel and petrol units. The petrol range includes a 1.8 litre ECOTEC power plant, capable of developing 140 BHP. There are also two powerful diesel CDTi units producing a horsepower of 120 and 150. The range topper gets a 2.2 litre direct petrol engine, generating an astonishing horsepower of 240. The flexibility of the used Zafira’s cabin is better than in the Scenic or Picasso and there is no other MPV in the market, which would allow for such interior transformation. The vehicle offers seven seats that can be easily folded at any time to create a cargo space of 620 litres; enabling transportation of items of considerable size. The equipment levels are also high. One will find air conditioning, a CD player with powerful stereo system and electric windows all included. Fuel economy is treated seriously at Vauxhall and the Zafira is not much different. Although the vehicle has engines of high capacity under the bonnet, fuel consumption is not a killer to the wallet at all. From the perspective of pure economy it is better to opt for 1.8 litre units, especially of the ECOTEC series, as they provide very reasonable consumption figures and are a great balance of economy and performance. The road performance of this used Vauxhall is just outstanding. The range topper is able to accelerate from standstill to sixty miles per hour within only seven seconds. The good thing is that engines of lower capacities enable a comparable performance. As it could be expected of a good MPV, the machine offers superb handling along with sharp and responsive steering; all in a surprisingly comfortable ride in lots of terrain conditions. Overall, the used Vauxhall Zafira A is a sort of universal MPV offering plenty of space and fine performance for quite a reasonable price. It looks like a good proposition for people looking for something bigger and practical at the same time.
