Vauxhall Zafira parts

When it comes to a car review, you may not like him but most people want to hear Jeremy Clarkson’s two cents. So today we look back to when Mr Clarkson reviewed the Zafira to see whether or not it’s a good car in his opinion.

The Vauxhall Zafira is the only option for a mini mpv when you look at similar cars in the range like the Citroen Picasso and Renault Scenic they don’t have much more capacity than a saloon.

The 7 seat Vauxhall Zafira is only an inch longer than the Astra estate so you are not contending with a van, when the seats aren’t needed they fold back into the boot. Some people find that finding a comfy seat position is difficult. The car was designed by the same designer that wnet on to design the Porche Carrera GT so it keeps an essence of style.

However according to Clarkson you can not escape the fact that it is still a people carrier and however turbo charged you make it, it kind of makes it like you are driving a fast bus. It’s practical and well styled but it’s still a people carrier.

When it comes to finding spare parts for Vauxhalls, particularly Vauxhall Zafira Parts, it’s worth taking a look at Megavaux to see they have a part in stock.

The Vauxhall Meriva

When you look at the Vauxhall Meriva there are a few points you have to consider. It has some special features that can make it stand out in the mini mpv market but it also lets itself down a bit on some of the basic features on the basic models.

So the advantages of buying a Vauxhall Meriva, well it offers great interior space, the capacity is good but it’s also a car that gives an illusion of space as well which means you won’t feel cramped on long journeys.

This feature is also helped by the clever seating arrangements; the seats in the back can be altered so they turn at an angle. This feature also gives more room if you are carrying adults in the back of the car. The middle seat folds away and the two outer seats can be turned in. This ingenious solution is called flex space.

The seats are positioned quite high this mean there is good visibility out of the car from most seats in it this can prevent car sickness in the back and helps the driver see where he or she is manoeuvring the car.

This car is pretty much designed for those long journeys and its final great feature is its sound insulation that means when you are driving on a motorway it stays fairly quiet.

Unfortunately the Zafira is let down by some other issues, it looks fairly bland, it is not an interesting drive unless you get the turbo version and then it feels a little to powerful for a car for transporting kids but if you are looking for a more powerful car then the turbo version could be for you. The base model isn’t to good on extras, they are available but you need to spend a bit more. The high side of the car can make windy conditions a little harder to drive in.

Overall this a practical car if you have kids and is great for longs on the motorway. If you already have one and are looking for Vauxhall Meriva parts, look no further than Megavaux.

Scrappage scheme brings boost for car buyers.

Towards the end of last year and over the winter, the uk car industry saw a sharp drop in sales. The sales slump was so severe, many manufacturing plants and production lines had to hours, wages and in some cases staff. The car scrappage scheme originally conceived in Germany was suggested as a solution to the problem.

The idea was if your car was older than 10 years you can scrap it and receive money of a new greener car. It seems many have seen this as an incentive as although car sales are still falling the rate at which they are falling is at its slowest rate for many months.

Generally these new scrappage customers are buying small cars and for many this is first new car. Whether this is a sign that the economy is picking up, probably won’t be known for a while but for now the car industry is certainly doing better.

So what is involved in scrapping a car?

Cars are generally taken to an authorised treatment facility and drained of harmful fluids then any recyclable materials are removed for recycling and the car is taken to be crushed for scrap metal. The owner is then given an end of life certificate or ELV. If you are interested or need to scrap your car then contact Megavaux for more information.

Vauxhall Tigra Thoughts

Finally a car designed to be a great value convertible and that’s its main attraction. Other cars that are convertibles often try to hard to be great sports cars with huge engines and uncomfy seats. The Vauxhall tigra is the car to bring the convertible to the masses. It provides a removable roof and a car for it to sit on. The car may not be the fastest in the world in fact its speed could be described as restrained but still its a convertible and does what its meant to do.

It has a clever opening and closing mechanism and a fairly sizable boot with the roof down. You also have plenty of room in the car as they haven’t tried to squeeze four seats into the car and so there are two sizable front seats.

So with comfort and a removable roof and a manageable speed the car seems the perfect companion, some reviewers may call it girly and I’m not sure that’s a bad thing. There’s nothing wrong with making a car that looks good.

For people who are looking for hard top convertibles on a budget under £15,000 ,you can’t go far wrong with a Vauxhall Tigra, for those with existing Tigras that need some repair why not look for some Vauxhall Tigra parts.
