All the opposite: how to buy Opel Zafira B with mileage. Inexpensive and reliable car; Overview Opel Zafira with mileage
18.10.2016
Opel Zafira.) The second generation is a large and comfortable car at an affordable price, perhaps the best option for a large family. Especially if the budget for the purchase of the car is not great, it is worth noting that Zafira is one of the most accessible ones presented in the secondary market. There are very few negative reviews about this car, but still, it has flaws, but what they are, and what to pay attention to the purchase of this model, now let's talk.
A bit of history:
For the first time, Opel Zafira was shown in the Frankfurt Motor Show in the spring of 1997, but in the appearance of the prototype, the real story of minivan began in 1999. Technical properties Opel Zafira resemble Opel Astra, but still, there are some differences. For example, reinforced rear suspension and larger bumper with air intake. In 2003, given the emergence of a large number of competitors, the company's management decided to easily update the car, after which appearance changed slightly, and the list of available options has increased. In 2005, a new generation of model was presented in Geneva, built on a new platform, with a fundamentally modified body design. Thanks to the new platform, the length of the body has become more 15 cm, the width is 4 cm, and the height is 1 cm. Also, the car's branded chip was improved - fast transformation of the cabin. The main part of the machines sold in the secondary market is collected in Poland or Russia.
Advantages and disadvantages of Opel Zafira with mileage.
As the operating experience has shown, the paintwork is very soft, because of this, chips and scratches appear on the body. After 5-6 years of operation, on the doors of the trunk, wheeled arches and the rear doors, the paint begins to swell. Despite this, body details are not covered with rust for a long time.
Power units
The line of engines Opel Zafira is represented as gasoline and diesel versions. Gasoline motors 1.6 (105 and 115 hp), 1.8 (140 hp) and diesel 1.7 (110, 125 hp) and 1.9 (100, 120, 150 hp). There is also not a completely ordinary version of the 1.6 motor version, which works on natural gas, but to meet such a car - a big luck. For those who love to "look", there is a motor 2.2 (150 hp), turbo engine 2.0 (200 hp) and the sports version of OPC (240 hp).
GRM drive from gasoline and diesel engines belt, officially, the replacement interval is 150,000 km, but many owners recommend changing it at least once in 100,000, since very often the belt is breaking down when running 110-130 thousand km. In gasoline atmospheric, a common problem with automatic adjustment of the distribution phases. If the car has this defect, you will understand this right away: after starting cold Motor, the sound of the gasoline engine will be more reminded old diesel. If this problem does not treat, at the most inopportune moment the car will stall, and you will not be able to start it.
Often there is a failure of the system of mechanical synchronization of the inlet camshaft, for the elimination of the problem in the service will be asked 20-50 USD. But if you ignore the work of the gasoline engine with the sound of diesel, it will soon be necessary to replace the gear and seals camshaft. When running more than 80,000 km, there are leaks from the cylinder head and the glands, it should be urgently eliminated, otherwise the oil will fall on the timing belt, which will result in expensive repair of the power unit. Diesel motors at Opel Zafir are very reliable and economical, but if the previous owner used not high-quality fuel, be prepared for the repair of the fuel system. Replacing nozzles (400-500 cu), TNVD (300-400 cu). On all machines, closer to 100,000 km of run, the ignition module starts failure, the malfunction will serve floating turns and unstable vehicle. Also, this mileage requires replacement of the cooling fluid and thermostat temperature sensor
Transmission
Opel Zafira is equipped with a mechanical, automatic or robotic gearbox Easytronic (isitronics). There are no complaints to a mechanical transmission to 100,000 km, after - jerks appear when touching, hum and vibration when switching gear and motion. This happens due to the wear of the secondary shaft and roller bearing, the repair will cost about 350 USD. The clutch has a sufficiently large resource and is able to stop 120-140 thousand km, the replacement will cost 400-500 USD. For many motorists, Easytronic looks like automatic transmission, but in its reliability is very inferior to automatic transmission. Therefore, often not honest sellers who sell cars with a problem robot, in the ad indicate that the car with automatic transmission, be extremely attentive.
If the car is used only for movement on the highway, the robotic transmission can also serve 150000 km. But if the machine is operated in the metropolis, then expensive repair of the gearbox will be needed when running less than 100,000 km. The most common problem is the failure of the clutch, the repair will cost 700-900 cu, so much will have to give and for the replacement of mechatronics. The optimal option for the acquisition will be Opel Zafira with a conventional automatic transmission. As the operating experience showed, the breakdown in this transmission occurs extremely rarely. On some machines, there is no insurrection of oil, in this case, the transmissions may well switch, also when switching can be smelted. Usually, after the top of the oil, these problems pass by themselves.
WORK QUALITY Opel Zafira
The suspension of this model is quite primitive, an independent suspension of McPherson type is installed in front, a semi-dependent beam is rear. If this machine go carefully and not overload it, then the first serious repair of the suspension will have to do closer to 80 thousand km of mileage. As most modern cars have a weak suspension, the stabilizer racks are considered, they have to change them, on average every 30-40 thousand km. Wheel bearings, despite the high cost, rarely live up to 60,000 km, the replacement will cost 120-180 USD. Support bearings serve 40-50 thousand km, the front shock absorbers come into disrepair after 100,000 km, but only if you won't overload the car. The cost of the original shock absorber approximately 100-120 USD, for the same money you can buy a pair not original.
The remaining details of the front suspension Opel Zafira have more than 100,000 km. Steering thrusts and tips have a resource of 100-120 thousand km. The rear suspension is considered not killed, the only thing that in it will have to be replaced, so this is the rear beam dampers after 12,000,000 km of run (replacement from both sides will cost 40 cu). If you started to leut the steering rail, do not rush to go to the service and change it to a new one, for replacing the dealer you have to lay out about 1000 USD. Try to find a specialist in the repair of this node in your city, repair will cost 100-200 USD.
Outcome:
Opel Zafira - like people who are closely in universities, sedans and hatchbacks, as well as those who like to travel a large company. If we talk about the reliability and cost of the car content, then in these components the car will give only positive emotions. The main thing is to find a live copy! Also, avoid buying a car with a robotic transmission.
Advantages:
- Capacity (7 beds).
- Qualitative materials of the interior decoration.
- Large engine performance.
- Reliable suspension
Disadvantages:
- Weak paintwork.
- Robotic transmission.
- Not a very comfortable driver's seat.
- Noise isolation.
If you are the owner of this car model, please describe the problems that you have to face during the operation of the car. Perhaps it is your feedback that will help readers of our site when choosing a car.
Sincerely, the editors of the vehicle
Once the minivans were the class of machines that the lightest future was propheted. And now the minivans in our market - once or two and did it. There are a lot of reasons. Here and pressure from the crossover market, and the increase in the consumer characteristics of hatchbacks, but the fact remains a fact: very few minivans on the Russian market. And, perhaps, the most popular model for already ten years remains Opel Zafira B, "almost full-size" Seven Minivan. Almost the perfect choice for those who are C-class cleaned, and the parking size does not allow you to take a bigger machine.
This is not the first generation of the model. Zafira a appeared back in 1999, immediately won high popularity in Europe and enjoyed good demand to peace. It's funny that in Japan she was sold like Subaru Traviq, and the rest - no exotic, only the native GM emblems. Vauxhall in England, Holden in Australia, Chevrolet in the USA and China. At the same time, the main "generic" features of the model were formed: sevensty, flexible cabin configuration with very small sizes and excellent, absolutely not "bus" handling. The latter was hardly the main characteristic feature of the model, and there is someone! Experts from Porsche helped to develop the Opel car. The machine was so successful that in some regional markets Asia Zafira A was sold until 2012.
On the replacement of the first Zafir in 2005 came the second. The concept of the machine has not changed: the machine is still based on the nodes and units of the Opel Astra model, it has about the same dimensions as the predecessor and the same gamut of motors. The basis for minivan was a new generation of model. From a technical point of view, the models are very close, have many identical nodes and aggregates, but since minivan is much heavier than hatchbacks, then the gamma engines and gearboxes are still different. The popularity of the machine remained rather high to the very exit of the heir, the Zafira Tourer model in 2011: even more powerful, large, with even more options, and more expensive. But, oddly enough, the more old model did not remove from production, but continued to release it as Zafira Family after a small restyling. So do not be surprised - the last Zafira was released in parallel with the new not only in our St. Petersburg, but also in Europe.
In outline
Like the basic model, in general, Zafira turned out to be very reliable and convenient. The controllability of the machine is traditionally completely easy, you feel behind the wheel, as in a normal car. Of course, two places in the trunk are not very suitable for large people, but if we are not talking about long-distance movies, then the car is quite seven. And, of course, if two unnecessary places are not needed, they are perfectly folded, and the other "heels" will eventually envy.Breakdowns and problems in operation
Engines
Motors are almost the same here as on Astra H, and if you want details, I recommend contacting. But since the car is still noticeably harder, then the engine 2.2 liters appeared in the gamma, already familiar to the family. This is a 155-strong motor with the immediate injection Z22YH, it does not apply to the most favorite playing motors due to the low reliability of the system of direct fuel injection, possible problems with the timing and relatively expensive spare parts. Much more popular with 1.8 Z18XER motors or a similar A18XER on the last year of release machines. This 140-strong motor is a "golden middle": it is quite powerful for this heavy machine and allows you to confidently feel not only in the city, but also on the track. And besides, it has a simple and cheap design. It is a fellow volume of 1.6l Z16XER is still weak, and if the urban movement is not very felt in the city movement, then every dozen horsepower is important on the track. More powerful engines are significantly expensive when buying and maintained. Completely successful and powerful engines of the Z20let, Z20LER, Z20LEH series with a capacity of 170, 200 and 240 hp, respectively, are quite rare. These turbo engines are made on the basis of old X20xEV series engines, which provides relatively low cost of spare parts and high reliability in operation. But the machines with these roads are found extremely rare, and unlike engines 2.2 are not combined with automatic transmissions. Most likely, the thing is also in the fact that the powerful turbo engine under the hood of the family car is frankly excessive.
Diesel engines 1.7 and 1.9 liters officially not sold from us, but there are many cars on the market with these motors. These are cars from Europe, there are diesel burns are much more popular than gasoline. The main stimulus to acquire such a machine is an automatic transmission. However, the engines themselves are also very good, with a foolish character and high reliability. Just do not forget to change the timing belt at least about 60 thousand kilometers. Otherwise, the problem is like all diesel engines: a jamming EGR valve, a contaminated sump filter on EURO-4 and EURO-5 modifications and the inevitable risk of hitting a bad diesel fuel to the tank with a subsequent bouquet of fuel system problems and not only.
Transmission
Big challenge for burning gearbox steel. Mechanical gearbox on motors 1.6 and 1.8 l is the five-speed F17, which I am. Unfortunately, their reliability is frankly low - I strongly recommend carefully checking the CAT when you purchase, and then constantly monitor the level and quality of oil in the box of the box during operation. In a serious minivan, the chance of the transmission output is noticeably higher than on lighter hatchbacks, so it is not worth relaxing. In combination with two-liter turbogo, the MCPP of the M32 series is used. This six-speed box also turned out to be with a surprise in the form of failing bearing and shafts. Problems are the same as F17, but maintainability is generally higher and there are successful options for simple replacement on the F16-F20 PPC, which reduces the sharpness of the problem. With automatic gearbox at Zafir, too, everything is not very good. Not in the sense that they are unreliable, just full-fledged automatic transmission on the most running motors 1.6 and 1.8 were not installed. Only the "robot" isitronically, which, in fact, is a conventional F17 box with clutch and gear shift. Like all the "robots" of the first generation, it is not very suitable for intensive urban traffic, and also pleases not very high, about 60 thousand kilometers, the resource of executive devices. The full automatic transmission on Zafir can only be obtained in a pair with a 2.2 liter gasoline engine (actually, it is probably the main reason for the purchase of such a car), or in combination with diesel. This is the more annoying that at Zafira A and on Astra H engine 1.8 is perfectly combined with an automatic transmission, and very successful, although not too modern. In the new gasoline motor, the five-speed AISIN AW55-50SN automatic transmission is laid, it is AF33, and the dieselks have a newer and strong AISIN Warner AW TF-80SC box, it is AF40. The automatic transmission is quite reliable, you can read about the nuances of operation in the material. With a calm movement and replacement of oil every 60,000 kilometers or more often, they are quite capable of living a long and happy life.
Chassis
Machine suspension is quite simple in design and perfectly withstand a relatively difficult minivan. The main consumables are all the same as on Astra: it is the racks of stabilizers, the rear silent blocks of the transverse lever and the support bearings. When running about 100 thousand, it is worth checking the silent blocks of the back of the beam, they can already crack, especially with worn springs and frequent movement with full load and. In general, the resource of the suspension deserves respect - without serious investments it allows you to go through a hundred, and then one and a half hundred thousand kilometers run.
Body and Salon
The quality of the interior performance is about the same as in Astra H, with amendment on the whole richer configuration. Good quality materials and noise insulation and the lack of frankly poor configurations make the car extremely attractive option "for every day." But the design is gloomy - unfortunately, it is a generic feature of Opel cars of these years. Not everyone will have to the shower frankly man-made style of execution, faceted console and abundance of gray and silver inserts. The main problems, in general, the same as Astra: This is a CIM steering column module, burning out information displays in low-cost versions and many small failures of the most diverse electrician on the machines of the first years of release. Specific, for example, leakage of the attachment of rails and the rear stop signal, are added, and the fall in the salon through the seals when the machine washing and the vibration of the developed ceiling console. In general, with regard to the cabin and suspension, the machine belongs to the most practical and convenient devices, perhaps the most economical in operation today in its class.There were many cars different. Basically, used sedans, so there is something to compare with. I started with GAZ 3110, then VW B5 American. Behind him VW Passat SS. Further Audi A6 and here in May 2013, Zafir with COSMO 2.0CDTI on the manual transmission. The main motive of the choice of Zafir - is still a bright appearance, a huge salon and diesel (albeit from Opel).
In advance, as they say. Criticizing the review I take any, positive and negative, I believe that everyone has its own opinion and choose! Next in order.
Purchase. I bought a new dealer Jenser in Lyubertsy for 1,080,000, 20% offered. Options only desired! Such as an electric camera (convenient), TEN in the cabinet of the cabin filter. The current 200a * 14 \u003d 2800W of warm air immediately after the launch of the DVS and headlight washers (because in this configuration, the optics is leaning with a curtain with the calculation of the installation of the left xenon), they spoke immediately and entered the order.
After a short 6 months, 05/17/2013 called! Flew-paid-left, but not far away. Since fuel was a liter about. Well, this is the lyrics already.
Impression
All the way got used to both in the Russian Federation and to the box. In the cabin, it was even an echo (roof - glass + windshoe panorama).
By chassis and internal combustion. 131 hp And 300 nm is a diesel. Noisy outside, pleasantly rich in. Touch without gas at least to the mountain, even with the second or third. The driver is ferogramed - from 1,2 to 3,000 rpm is continuous. It makes no sense more to twist. Dieselists will understand.
Box. I basically wanted the mechanics in mind the residence in MO, the work is there. Namely, 120 km there and back every day. There were a variator, and DSG, and clasic hydrotrans. In the first time it seemed to be tight, but after the first 2,000 km, the IPAM lever was developed. Clutch pedal is harsh. Brakes on 4 points - it is possible a little farthetern. The steering wheel with the electroceneur is canceled. From speed poured as it should be.
Suspension. The average value of the rigidity is energy intensity. In view of the 7th local salon, rear tougher than need. But putting a few people, everything changes! Permanent cottage construction. 8-10-12 Glue bags of 40 kg turn the back to a soft but collected D-class session.
Controlness of a passenger car. Modernized Scheme and Layout of the Astra Wheel Base. At 110,000 km shone with the mount. Critical seats were not found - the result of smooth roads (90% M5 and A107) and a neat driving style.
Interior. Cosmo equipment. Cruise, panorama Warm steering wheel, etc. You can read on the Internet. From the extra, as already written above, folding the mirrors, the TEN in the salonnik and the headlight washer. Everything is comfortable and at hand. And works to this day ... Ugh ... ugh ... ugh ...
A pile of shelves and tunes. The 7th local salon walked here by default, for the refusal of the 3rd row, the price does not change. As for the panoramic glass, by the way, which burst from the pebble in the second week of use. The crack is 30 cm in 2 beam from the passenger side. It's a shame. The price tag at that time in one was 47 tr. Under the order for 2 months. I go and now. Scattered and not growing. Glass Pillington - Slag.
Seat ... buckets. Perfectly designed. Customize not a problem. If you fully roll out, I do not get off the pedals, neither the walls, I sit down behind you, and there is also places ahead of the knee 10-15 cm. Height 188. And my weight is 115 kg.
With the decomposed third row, it is necessary to join all together. The second row has a longitudinal and transverse degree of freedom of movement. It is a pity that they are not removed on Ford. Distance from the back of the driver to the lid of the trunk 182 cm. Smooth floor. In nature what is needed with a young wife. Courtyard. With a porch in the form of open 5 doors.
Music in Opel Zafira Tourer is excellent. Sound is pleasant for runoff. Bluetooth and flash drives. Navi is not and did not want. There are Yandex, with traffic jams and so on. Cruise control and speed limit on the left, and multimedia with voice set of numbers on the right on the steering wheel. Stylish red backlight inserts in door panels. Closers of all glasses with anti-closing, as well as the curtains on the ceiling.
Two gloves, big and smaller. In velvet and backlit. Plastic is soft and pleasant where it is necessary. 5 points shorter. Two-zone climate. Adequate, but little is noisy at full fan speed, and they are already 7.
3 Rosettes 12V. To the one that the inverter 220 was picked up in the trunk, the outlet was cut there. 500W enough for 32 "LCD TV and 2 Ice spotlights of 30W. On the nature of a kebab in the evening at the lake, battery 80Ah. In the trunk even more posikhikov! Find for a hunter or fisherman. Plastic hard, but the other why there. Explicit crickets for 120,000 So it did not appear!
Review is excellent! Parktronic or cameras are not required even with such rather impressive sizes. Inserts in the front racks are out. Everything can be rotated. Sometimes sweat, but there are separate deflectors there. Turn on the Love Love (with Conduction by default) 15 seconds and everything ... All the glasses have shoved!
Exterior. Well, on an amateur. My white is a black roof (glass), inserts with headlights too. Eki contrast. LCP is excellent. I go with a large skew / dent on the hood near the headlight from the stone already 70,000. There is no rye and hint.
In the summer, I drove on a curb with hanging one front wheel. Stepped for tie. Deployed and extended the threshold to the metal. Not shuffling, rolled 2 years and 2 winters. Rust there is no no. Miracle some. Clearance is sufficient for the city car, like everyone else.
Middle native headlights - shine great. Far is weak. The curtain opens the focus of the same lamp. Extra section would not interfere with a separate far. Inserted xenon - one at the next, then adjusted without complaints. Clearance clear. On the block headlights there are even places for the regular xen, but not for 40 tr. From Opel. For the guits there are lenses and washup. I have never asked even for it. Yes, and this car is not interested in them. 3-5 times stopped in 4 years.
Sensors of light and rain are sane, but not ideal. There is no tunnel recognition in light. On the rain, sometimes live your life. Off-incl ... passed. AUTODAL LIGHT ALSER HOOD. I found this function only 4 months later.
What did not like or disadvantages:
Hood. First, it strongly goes into the bottom and 40 cm long, besides. I do not see in general, at least as I do not rise. Get used to pretty quickly. Half of the motor in the cabin. Torpedo because of this half a meter in depth (compact). Glass also goes far ahead, wash is unrealistic difficult.
Many corners where to get suite with cleaning only toothpick.
Worn in winter? There is no on site. Only on the go. All heat from the motor takes the stove to protrude the 7th local salon. I saves the autoader and a piece of polystylene in front of the radiator. To turn out, turn out 4 torks, flexing the apron and try to prophe. There is no place in the engine compartment at all. Everything is very tight! I could not put an additional dudge - I did not find where.
Well, now dessert. What broke for 120,000 km.
1. Glow candle in 4 cylinders. Konsky price tag for today (8000 p). In -29 without her, with difficulty. 15-20 seconds twist. It was scary somehow, but ... did not fail. Love only because of the fuel filter even in -15. Changing the key to 34, and the cardboard under the back on the grass, in 5 minutes. In the instructions, everything is described.
2. Furious both rear tumanki - bulbs rotched.
3. The wishes and fought both front tumanks.
4. A rubber skirt was broken off on the front bumper from below (Opel disease) - touched at all and thrown out).
5. And all! There was nothing more!
Oil and filter I change myself every 15,000 km. Front pads for 60,000 without problems. Rear 9,000 too. By 112,000, he himself changed the timing belts and driven with all rollers and pomp. As of the state, it would be worthwhile for the regulatory 120,000 km - five hours of work and ready! Long, yes. For the first time in life is fortunately. Savings amounted to 11,000 - the price of work in no official.
Outcome
I will be glad to answer questions. Thanks to everyone and good luck in everything!

The advantages and disadvantages of Opel Zafira 2007-2008 are revealed on the basis of revocation of real owners. More detailed pros and cons of Opel Zafira 1.8 and 1.9 gasoline and diesel with mechanics, robot and front-wheel drive can be found from the stories below:
Ownership reviews
1. Capacious.
2. Good handling.
3. Insecured suspension.
4. Excellent climate control.
5. Will start in any frost (the minimum temperature in which I started - 37, started with 1 attempts after night parking in the yard).
6. Predictable and quite high resource of aggregates.
7. Fuel consumption (AI-92) in the city of 10-11 liters in winter and summer, on the track with a box on the roof - 6.8-7 liters. The difference between 92 and 95 gasoline did not feel.
8. Very grabbing brakes.1. Objective (although, of course, depending on what to compare).
2. Unimportant (very wide front racks, small mirrors), often pedestrians "emerge from nowhere" and it is necessary to be ready for this.
3. In Frost below -20, the salon warms up after 10 minutes of warm-up and 30 minutes drive at an average speed of 50-60 km / h and then only with the presence of an autoader.Feedback on Opel Zafira Family 1.8 (140 hp) with mechanics 2006 G.V.
Video Feedback
Immediately I want to say that the car really liked. Externally beautiful, inside the space, a bunch of transformation options. In the cabin, in comparison with the Japanese - everything is different, at first it was unusual, but then I realized that I was better to me here, more convenient (I felt right away - I stopped sicking my back, I sat down on the king - 10 minutes and started to whine, no matter how regulating the seat) .
The car is operated daily - a child in a kindergarten, wife and himself to work, in the evening in reverse order. On average, 30-40 km per day. Mileage today is 56,000 km.
Engine. Installed Z18XER 1.8 140 hp A good traveler high-breasted engine with a gas distribution phase adjustment system. Power enough. Lucky!
For me it seemed interesting how it starts. First, as they say "From Poland", i.e. Like diesel - just turned the key, and it already works. And also in winter! The minimum temperature at which it started -38 S.
Secondly, as soon as it starts, the turnover is set to 1,000 rpm and smoothly, for 1-5 minutes (depending on the temperature on the street), decrease to idle ~ 750 rpm. No terrible "warm-up" reva for 15-20 minutes no!
By the way, I have consumption from 7 to 15 l / 100 km, and 15 liters managed to "achieve" in those frosts exclusively in the city (and the city was decently stood - the average speed on the board-computer 14 km / h). Were warm - 3 times a day, minutes to 10 minutes. Now wept, the on-board computer shows already (!) 14l / 100 km. Lot! In the summer in the city about 10.5-11 l / 100 km. Driving manner is active.
Transmission. There is a box F17, 5 steps. Mechanics, and I thought I did not remember how to ride it! But no, "remember! Remember the handle! " (from). Still, for me, a manual box is better than "automaton". Like.
The most pleasant speed is 100-120 km / h. At the same time, the engine turnover is about 3,000 - 3,200 rpm. Easily goes and more, gained 150 km / h, handling remains as excellent, but the acoustic noise is already annoying. I would like the 6th gear. Switches well. Normal, ordinary box.
Challenges. Excellent! Suspension shot, elastic, rather strong. I never pierced never, well, can go carefully. The car, of course, for the track, her element, can be plane! On the highway goes like a train on rails, very steadily. But it seemed to me, the ruts were afraid - there were plots where the frank rut on the asphalt was trying to jump out, drove on the road.
Review of Opel Zafir Family 1.8 (140 hp) MCPP 2008
The machine was used mainly for trips along the track (approximately 90% of the distance traveled). Consumption 5.3 liters per 100 km in summer and about 6 liters in winter. In the city, consumption increases by 1.5-2.0 liters. I do not chase hard, but 100 km / h car rides perfectly, and 130 km / h becomes scary. There is a bad feeling that the machine breaks down from the road.
Noise isolation - one of the disadvantages of the machine. In the car is quite noisy. At high speed, you have to speak loudly, but not yelling. Well, the main problem is clearance. He is missing. The lower molding (skirt) broke into the first month, driving on the border.
The car was bought as a family car. Four are placed without problems. A big trunk where you can put a bunch of all the junk. If something does not fit into the trunk - there is a roof with rails. Transportation of all kinds does not cause problems.
When replenishment happened in the family, we decided to use the third nearby seats. Suddenly it turned out that the third row was incomprehensible to whom. Human young nine years from the type of subtitle physique (in common drill) can accommodate there with great discomfort. Sit down, closing your ears with his knees. For one trip (about 6 km), he applied two times about the second row of seats. How to use the third row is incomprehensible.
Review about Opel Zafira 1.9d diesel with mechanics 2009
Machine 2012 release, bought in 2013 new in the cabin. The reliability has not yet failed. Changed only liquids and lamps.
Super seat. I have problems with the lower back. But 1400 is driving on this machine without overnight. Auto capacity suits completely. The trunk is huge. While it was built a house, a few days spent the night in the car. Slightly diagonally, but slept in full growth on a flat surface.
I really liked the balance of the car, namely handling / comfort and power / consumption. Sometimes I think that the power would like more, but the flow will then be more.
If there are very short plots for overtaking, the "Sport" button makes the car freeze, but more durga and less comfortable. Yes, and consumption grows. It stands on the road confidently, rulitsya perfectly for Wen, besides with the beam behind. For this a little heavy steering wheel when parking, I am ready to sacrifice.
The lowest launch temperature was -37. Started immediately. True, the sounds first were such that sorry the car, but literally 5-10 seconds.
Feedback on Opel Zafira B 1.8 (140 hp) with a robot 2012 G.V.
Today, mileage is 90,000 km. During this time there was only one glitch - the check was burned, the car was tupil, the box did not switch ... A visit to the diagnostic was revealed to the rearranged wiring leading to the speed sensor. Postings corrected - solved the problem.
What is like in the car: capacity, very comfortable chairs, high ground clearance, carrying capacity of 630 kg, excellent suspension, 7-terrain, universal body, many stars on crash tests, etc.
What does not like in the car: it is very uncomfortable to change the lamps of the near light and the cabin filter ... if with the filter even less, then the light bulbs ... Also, who came up with turning on and off the air conditioner through the menu? Is it really a separate button could not be done?
The box-robot is peculiar ... but accustomed. The spouse after the automatic transmission, of course, swear greatly!
Arthur, review about Opel Zafira Family 1.8 on the 2012 robot
"I am going to purchase Opel Zafira B. Help decide on the engine and gearbox."
Opel Zafira B compactan is based on the modified Astra H platform and in many nodes is unified with it. This is also related to engines and gearboxes, so there are no problems with the service and the presence of the necessary spare parts.
As for gasoline engines, the optimal option from all points of view will be 140-strong 1.8. Why? Judge for yourself: 1.6-liter engine (105 hp until 2008 and 115 hp after) For a car, a truly mass of more than 1,400 kg is still weak, besides, it is not much more economical than the above-mentioned motor. And with age can.
Opportunities 2.0-liter Turbomotor with a power of 200 or 240 (in OPC) L.S. For the family car, it is already somewhat redundant, despite the way that fuel consumption is greater, and the quality of fuel quality is higher than at atmospheric motors.
In theory, an excellent alternative could be a very pleasant 2.2-liter 150-hidden engine. However, the system of direct fuel injection makes this option not so attractive from the point of view of reliability, maintainability and cost of repair costs, like a 1.8-liter option with distributed fuel injection.
As for the general weak points of gasoline versions, this is the ignition module facing the sensors, not the most reliable wiring. In addition, the engines are sufficiently sensitive to the quality of engine oil and the timing of its replacement. This is especially true of the turbo fuel and a 2.2-liter engine with direct injection of fuel (it is significant that in Russia there were problems with the TNVD, which were written off on the use of poor-quality fuels).
Recall both diesel versions. Zafira B first years of release was equipped with 1.9-liter CDTI capacity of 100, 120 and 150 hp, as well as 2.2-liter CDTI (125 hp), which was abolished with the appearance in 2008 new 1, 7-liter motors corresponding to the Euro-5 standard (110 and 125 hp). The best option can be considered an old 2.2-liter engine, but it still has to search. Next, we would recommend paying attention to 120-strong 1.9 CDTI, which is also considered quite a good choice. However, in the case of the "Baushka" it is more important not a modification, but the technical condition of a particular copy. So, what kind of version there is a speech, thorough diagnosis of the Common Rail fuel system, the assessment of the state of the turbine, the particulate filter (if any) is highly recommended.
If we talk about the transmission, then the least attractive option is a robotic EasyTronic box, which was installed in combination with a 1.8-liter engine. When working, it annoys his slowness, and in operation requires qualified service (the operation of the "automated" clutch needs checking every 30 thousand km). However, the F17 mechanical box is far from being perfect: there are not so rare cases of its premature failure, and it is on cars under 10 years old! Therefore, before buying, be sure to check whether the operation is accompanied by the operation of the transmission with increased noise or outsiders. Another reason for chagrins is not the cheapest clutch.
So a relatively rare version with a classic "automatic" (4-speed for gasoline engine 2.2 and 6-speed for powerful diesel modifications) is quite eligible for life. The main thing is that the box has proper service in the past and now stays in good condition.
As for the chassis, it is simple and reliable. The exception is perhaps that there is not enough durable and fairly expensive hub bearings, replaced with the hub. If the previous owner fully used the cargo-passenger capacity of the car, do not be surprised by the "tired" shock absorbers and the rear axis springs.
Finally, the body. The weak point is the trunk lid, but it does not hurt a thorough check of the entire car. In general, as practice shows, corrosion on the used Zafira B -. In addition, many owners criticized not enough high-quality LCP and not very durable glass of fog lamps, as well as "sweating" rear lights.
It may seem that the shortcomings are too much. In fact, according to modern standards, Zafira B is quite reliable, a solid car, the maintenance of which is in a technically good condition in most cases costs reasonable money. If the priority is simplicity and reliability, give preference to gasoline version 1.8 (140 hp), if you want a good combination of power and efficiency, look for a diesel version 2.2 TDCI. On the other hand, the Zafira B has no unsuccessful motors, any version, subject to the proper technical condition, can be considered to be purchased, the question is only in the cost of maintenance and maintenance. But in the case of the transmission, we are more categorical: a better mechanical gearbox, and if it happens, then instead of a "robot" it is better to look for a version with a classic "automatic".
