My car is due for a change. I currently have a 5 door hatchback (a Focus), it has been good, but now that the DSs are teenagers it is getting a leetle cramped in the back. It's time for a [deep breath] 7 seater [sound of weeping].
I've narrowed it down to the Grand Scenic or the Zafira.
Aesthetically speaking the Scenic wins hands down, the styling is less 'Mum Bus' than the Zafira and the cabin is a nicer place to be. The Zafira is attractive because it is alledgedly very reliable and a sensible buy [spit]. I do have concerns about the relaibility/build quality and servicing/parts/maintenance costs of the Scenic, but my heart would prefer one over the slightly souless feeling Zafira.
I haven't driven either vehicle as yet and obviously I will do before making my final decision, but I wanted to hear your views from the pov of owners of either vehicle.
I have had a look on honest john and he prefers the zafira.
The car we buy wil not be new, it will most likely be on an 04, 54 or an 05 plate (older shape Zafira).
TIA
