Opel Zafira

And I found that I couldn't go along these wee country roads where we live without, you know, ending up in ditches and hedges and all sorts of things.

So that lasted about six weeks before I sold it for a much more accommodating Ford Zafira.

See, I do remember these names.

Vauxhall.

Vauxhall.

Vauxhall.

Vauxhall Zafira, that's right.

And it had two wee seats at the back.

We've got JK having an argument with someone.

We've got a Vauxhall Zafira.

Is that a Zafira?

Last time we were here, we were here with Eric of Brainful.

Fiat's UK sales peaked in 2001 at 4,280 cars.

The Xsara Picasso, the Scenic, and the Zafira were selling in the multiples of that.

Then Euro NCAP tested one.

Mid-2001, a right-hand drive 1.9 liter JTD, three stars out of five.

The side impact told the opposite story.

That high sandwich floor and the deep, rigid sills routed the barrier's energy underneath the seating plane, and the Multipla came within a couple of points of a perfect score with no curtain airbags fitted at all.

The Opel Zafira tested in the same round also got three stars.

In Geneva, in March of 2004, Fiat shows the Multipla with a new face.
