Vauxhall Zafira review

Five people can be comfy in a Zafira but the last two seats are occasional or just for kids. The ride is fairly supple and the engines quiet, so there shouldn't be complaints whether it's the school run or a long trip.

The second row of seats slides and folds, and the third-row pair individually slot into the floor. If you don't have more than two in the car, you've got a van-like flat-floored cargo hold. All useful stuff, but of course you can't carry seven people and luggage. Which is why it probably doesn't matter the final two are only occasional seats.

Everything is solidly bolted to a Zafira, which is just as well given the attack it will come under from tiny hands.
