What strikes me immediately after 250km drive:. seats, great and the space around you diesel drive quiet, the car is very quiet anyway and runs very smooth speed is there enough, you're so on the 160.I have a piece driven by Germany. the 200 is reached quickly. Because it is silent you drive faster than you think. I had this as leading car Megane Scenic Dci ... That still shows a real audible diesel it is much quieter the buttons are typical Opel, this works by itself though. navigation is again getting used to, I do not intuitive. the sound quality of the stereo is certainly good to mention (for me at least good enough!) and the iPod is connected quickly, which is the next 3-4 years enjoy again. Too bad you can not iPod out of sight store that was well regulated in the Passat, which had an extra box I glovebox.
The children (aged 14, 13 and 8 years), the rear seats are all great and they have good visibility, they also like that the rear windows can all the way down!
Remarkably adblue you must refuel. There's a tank of 8 liters, which is approximately 8000 km goes along. The AdBlue filler cap underneath the diesel filler neck. I have yet to figure out just where you can refuel adblue. There seems to be a notification if the AdBlue is low. you can not start the car ie. if there is insufficient adblue present!
Later, following an update concerning consumption and other issues.
Disclaimer: The data are fictitious star, the car is leased. The number of stars for comfort and performance to be given by me.
Another 7000 km further ... (7068 km)For example, 7000 km. The car is always better to sit around me, I find it a pleasant companion. Meanwhile slide kilometers under me positive and negative with yet to notice a couple of matters:
-The road holding is superb, it is as if balloon tires underneath. The tires must be quite hard (2.8 bar), he would not so woolly ride. So tires are 2.8 bar, which is also the eco mode.
Consumption hovers around 6.0 liters per 100 km on the last 7000km. I must say that there is ridden regularly in Germany and Zafira regular tap 200. That he's doing differently effortlessly and in great peace. Normally 160 rate in Germany, which is something else as rush hours in the Netherlands of course. At long stretches in the Netherlands during peak time consumption is approximately 5.0-5.3 liters per 100 km. For a 1600kg heavy car is not a bad use.
-The Seat is now set correctly, it does not always play with electric lumbar support provides a good result. Just keep practicing.
-The Rest of the car is wonderful, no clear diesel hum makes me more regularly to catch me then allowed tougher row.
-Tja, And then the radio. Who has occasionally sometimes some things, the iPod is not recognized, and one time I had to even it out of the fuse, there was nothing more to begin with. Also did one time the knobs no longer. The sound quality I am very pleased. Voice activated calling is possible, also other things you can control with your voice. I am not going to ... Oh, too bad you can not stream Bluetooth audio.
-In Episode there was an automatic cap on, so no more fudge with a cap. After the first refueling I had been arguing with that. A sort of cover is in what was already gone after the first time. Downside was that you can not press all the trade of the nozzle. So it was as if the constant tank was almost full. Upon delivery I also got along with the ordinary cap, which is so in right now. Just another twist so.
-The Auto light moves slowly in tunnels, where the lights of the Peugeot and the Passat actually more or less directly concern when entering a tunnel, it takes the Zafira some 100 meters more, sometimes a little on the late side. For the entertainment of the lamps is the same. Not really annoying, I think worth noting.
-The Automatic wipers contrast respond well once again, the sensitivity is highly configurable. You stand still, then stop the wipers, row your resume, then they start again. Fine.
-The Cupholders are super, a bottle of water and large thermos cup (coffee) can simultaneously join !!
-The Space in the rear is clear for 3 long (volleyball) boys 15 more than enough ntje course front. You can check who is chosen to drive the next time.
Oh, one time I was almost home but I still had a short drive to allow complete automatic cleaning soot filter. Strange that a car you say you have a piece to drive ...
An update follows, I wonder what I'm going brands adblue in the Zafira.
More than 11 000 km ... (11 168 km)And still everything was fine, the radio had only one time a spontaneous reboot. And further the kilometers slip under me. Strange, I think the day counter returns to 0 after 2000 km, I put this always the first day of the month 0 to see what I per month row and consumption. Well, now slightly different count so.
Incidentally, still no mention adblue, I drive but just until I get a message, adblue they have only here in Enschede at the Shell in 20 gallon drums ;-P (Yet once more searching ..)
Still not Adblue medling (22,000 km)The kilometers are quieter under me, in the Netherlands while the consumption in the on-board computer about 6.0 liters per 100 km. That remains stable.
Concerning the adblue yet even called by the supplying dealer just by driving by the workshop manager, the adblue message comes naturally. So after 22 000 km are simply not mentioned, we drive on ...
30000 km turn (30,000 km)The first turn, no problems exist where the dealer what need to do to have. also filled adblue, so I expect the next 30,000 km no reports about adblue.
After the May (44,000 km)So, was during the May holidays here by car and down to Tuscany and Rome visited here. During the journey, there appeared to be more than 2 hours of backup for the Gotthard, but then over the San Bernardino Pass in one day ... 1500 km ... Again, like the previous cars, like the car after a few hundred km is becoming more economical driving. Rider with luggage and cruising at 140 km / h (where permitted) a consumption of 6 l. per 100 km. Not bad.
Unfortunately, in Rome typed a diamond (the small of the back door) and stole some stuff. Luckily it was the small window. The house bought a roll duct tape and sealed. This went fine, even during the journey. Replacing bljkt more difficult, it is not only the small window, but the whole frame what needs to be replaced ...
After more than 3300 km back, fine touring car and enough torque to drive over the Alps, I already sense now to hang behind the caravan and again to go on vacation !!
Another update (125.000 km)It's been a while. Meanwhile, there is not so much exciting happened on a new clutch and steering post. For coupling, something with a balance thingy, the car has been two weeks in a foreign dealer. Meanwhile, a similar Zafira Diesel given as loan car, so that was no problem. Something else strange was the wheelhouse. It was tricky at long straights to make small steering movements, you should always send a small resistor. That made you drive straight on something angular and not pleasant. This proved to be a known issue and has been replaced under warranty.
Meanwhile, again two summers with the Opel Been move to Italy. What you would expect from a diesel 136pk: ease and an average of 1 to 10 with a 1300-ton trailer.
All in all a great trip car in which life is good, with the known defects of the radio where you get used to.
I also think it's nice to report, I row every week through Germany on a piece where you can ride unlimited. Driving there sometimes 220 on the counter, more than 200 km / h real GPS kilometers, according to the spec's is 193 max ... And at a 1.6 diesel engine of 1,600 kilos, not bad I guess so!
