I can start off use of this area with an update on the OPEL Zafira I collected recently from Auckland!
It's a replacement for my wife's Odyssey, and is shorter by about half a metre, but still has additional rear seats if we need to fit in seven people.
I was looking at the 2.2 engined Holden versions (also know as Subaru Traviq) initially since the Odyssey was a V6, and I was not sure dropping to an 1800 engine was such a good idea. After hearing about some horror stories with the 2.2 camchains snapping due to a blocked oil reservoir, I figured the cambelt on the 1800 engine was not such a bad idea, and this was also the only Opel branded Zafira I could find - which sort of decided the issue!
Car performed well on the trip home, apart from some service faults flashing up coming out of Picton. Got the car looked at briefly in Blenheim and determined the faults were not major, so got home safely.
Only one key so had to order some new key blanks and remotes from UK since Holden wanted to charge $300 plus programming. I will probably still have to get the new ones programmed locally - unless someone knows how to do it - but the 2x key blanks/transponders/central locking buttons will cost about $75 total now.
I'm happy with the Zaf.... and my wife is ok now too.... even though I was accused of only looking for Opels! As if!
I see there is also a Zafira VXR - http://www.topgear.com/uk/vauxhall/zafira/360 ..... maybe next time!
