Car review – Vauxhall Zafira
Sunday, September 5th, 2010
Mobilise member Jenny Banbury loved her manual Renault Clio but there was no way she could fit a hoist and a scooter inside such a small car, and she needed an automatic for the hand controls she required. Her only option was to get something bigger and after much soul searching she settled on the Vauxhall Zafira 1.9 CDTI.
I had been having driving lessons with Rob Lukehurst (in his BSM Corsa with hand controls), and my Disability Living Allowance award letter had come through. The time had come to look for a car. I went to see Andrew Vernon, the Motability Specialist at Hartwell Oxford Vauxhall, for advice on what car he thought might be suitable. I’d been to many dealers and didn’t like the look or space the other cars offered. I was also fixated on having a small car.
