3 days in a Zafira....
« on: 01 October 2010, 12:51:20 »
Just took our pool car up north for a trip, Zaf 1.6 Club, quite possibly the worst car I have ever driven.

Gutless, unstable, uncomfortable, borderline dangerous headlights, it should come with a warning "use for school runs only"  :D, in fact my old CF230 from 20yrs ago outshone it in all departments.

Damn glad to get back in the mig  :y

From a dealer, what do you expect!

Needs somebody who knows what they are doing.

Zaff A's were Ok, best of the lot in its day

Mine is nothing like the one you mention

Company car - the company mechs have looked at it (basically just plugged mdi in I suspect), nought wrong, so sent it up to my favourite dealer who said likewise.

Personally, I wouldn't let either of those play with my cars (again)  :-X


Obviously, tech2 turns its nose up.
