I like it! That's what I'm trading the meriva for when I'm ready.

In fact, I was looking at this the other day.

Very good.

You want a design, SRi or Elite, the rest are a bit basic (I have an Elite).

The 150bhp version also gets 17inch wheels, ESP and stiffer suspension.

There is no difference in CO2 or consumption between the 2 engines (although they are different power plants). Beware the autos as they are 2 tax bands higher and quite a bit more thirsty.

Lol, I actualy wanted a crew cab pickup but that was not allowed!

If I could have dropped onto a reasonbaly priced 2.2 Dti Omega estate I would have probably gone for one.

Its not new, it was registered in Feb 2008 and is a 2008 model year (although 57 plate) with 13K miles on it.

I had to clean it today as I got it at cost price so it had not been fully valeted (although it was serviced) so out came the clay bar and polishing mop etc!

I also got given a full kit (on the quiet) of this mega expensive auto glym treatment they try to sell you.

I used it but, it consists of nothing more than the following:

A Rainex equivalent
A washer bottle additive
A good polymer wax
A bottle of spray for the upholstery.

So in reality you dont get much for the £200+ they try to get you to part with!

For anybody considering such treatment, just get it clayed, mopped and use a good polymer wax (e.g. Meguiras Next Generation) and a bottle of rainex!

Ow yes, the mig was doing 37-38 mpg on my commute.

Ow yes, the mig was doing 37-38 mpg on my commute. Which engine was it,  Cheers Mark.

Lol, the kids already call it the bus!

At least with them in the back and the wife in the boot I get some peace!

seems spacious and comfy inside..

wont make repair costs at least 3-4 years and within 3 years you will get most of your money back ..logical..

but I cant trust them on fast curves, they seem to be a bit high on centre of weight :-/

Very nice car Mark

Love the wheels........

Looking forward to falling out of that going round Lings Bar/Radcliffe Rd roundabout at 60 on 2 wheels..........!!!

 

[TheBoy]

The newer ones are much nicer than the orignal Zafiras, which I really was not a fan of.

50mpg is something I can only dream of (unless on the Kawasaki), but I couldn't tolerate the commute  

[TheBoy]

Saying that, I nearly bought a Rover 45 diesel the other day, and our old Rover 420 diesel always managed 50+ mpg, until it had a nasty bump (then never managed more than 45mpg).  I miss that car
