Just something I'm pondering at the moment but I quite like the idea of a fast mpv for family duties.
I'm looking at the zafira gsi at the moment but don't know anyone who's owned one. I've riven zafiras in the past but only the 1.9 diesel and 1.6 petrol. I found them alright to drive but pretty plain and built to a cost but I can live with that for a family wagon.
What interests me is how reliable they are, especially with mileage and what they're like on fuel and routine maintainance and of course common faults.
I know the ecotec has a reputation for destroying timing gear but that was rectified with a larger oil spray jet in 2001 so all gsi should be ok I think.
So, what's you're thoughts and/or alternative suggestions? Must be 7 seat and with a bit of poke.
Thanks
