Not used a Zafira... But did us a VW Sharan for about 6 months (wfp - backpack & 25L containers)

My neighbour had a zafira and I remember the boot being a little on the small side.

Depends on how many containers you carry I suppose.

In the Sharan I removed the 6th & 7th seat. I had 8 x 25L containers and my packback in their with space for another 4 containers if I wanted. I bought a £10 kids paddling pool from argos and put that in the back .

Best thing I can say is go and measure a zafira boot, mark out the space at home and put your kit into that space.

Ive got a galaxy at mo...same as sharan. Cant fault it really, plenty of room!

Think zafira is a little smaller, but still workale i imagine. What would you need to carry?

It all depends if you know of a decent one or something doesnt it etc.

just looking to get a 09 or 10 plate one and i will carry purefreedom 25ltr trolley and 4-5 containers

[LWC]

Plenty of room i imagine...just gotta be careful with the water...cause no matter how careful you are...you will spill some and wreck the carpets as ive done. The pool is a good idea

Personally if you carry 4/5 I'd look at getting something that can carry 8/10... That way if you needed to carry more then you don't have to look at changing vehicles

go one,but waiting for my new one to turn up,


dont dare use it for work,its the wife car

Again, I have used a VW Sharan for 2 years and to be honest I still wish I had it rather than my caddy van for the space, although the caddy looks a bit more professional.

You can get a plastic tray that fits in the boot for the Sharan to catch all the water.

No problem, not much diff between having 7 passengers.

Unfortuanlty not, the tank is too long, i had a toyota previa before this and the back seats slid forward so you could get tank in, it was just heavy on juice. 2.3 auto deisel mind...tenner used to get me about 30 - 40 miles GULP!

Im sure you could get a decent sized tank in mine though with the rear seats in. Ill measure for you next time everythings out. Are you thinking of getting one?

[windiewasher]

Yes m8 thinking of getting one.I have a 250 ltr upright.would that fit on do you think?

Well its a 2.3 16v petrol lol, goes well  But i get just over 30mpg loaded up which im surprised and impressed with! But id defo be looking for a diesel one if i was you. Im 25 its fully comp for £400, although i do have 7 years no claims since starting driving.

The Sharan I had was a joy to drive. So much space and very comfortable.

I dropped off & picked up 6 people plus camping gear for a festival up north last year. Even fully loaded it still pulled well !
