Of all mentioned, go Japanese - Mazda 5 probably pick of the bunch.

Dear oh dear, this thread is irritating for the apostrophe polizei.

The plural of Zafira is Zafiras.

While I'm on, are Mr Renault's electrics still rubbish?

They were known to be in the 1980s, but I wonder if the newer Renaults are better.
I apologise wholeheartedly, I've just typed zafiras again - and it was autocorrect that put the apostrophe in for me!
Megane? Do you still have to take the front wheel off to change the headlight bulb? :crazy:
NO, but you do need to be triple jointed with a childsized hand to reach in under the wheel and do it

Apology graciously accepted.

So we now have the semi-literate writing auto correct applications.

An example of the lunatics taking over the running of the asylum.

The incorrect use of the apostrophe to denote a plural is increasingly common.

Someone sent me an email in the week to say there would be "pdf's" attached.

At this rate, I will be joining the ranks of the permanently offended.

So in the end I bought a 59 metallic blue Mazda 5 sport 2.0 petrol. Cost 5 grand.
It's very clean and tidy inside and out. 60k Full Mazda service history and goes like poop off a shovel for a people carrier.
I'm happy with it, only problem is if it's actually full of people in the back there's no boot space for luggage and push chairs but that's the same with most 7 seaters. I'm considering a top box on the roof bars for some petrol sapping drag.
If business goes well I can always part exchange in a couple of years but might not need to.

Good choice!.

My mate has a Zefaria B, showed me the heater resistor pack, looks like it cost 50p to make..

New one fitted under recal failed within a week.

He did the repairs himself after that, pollen filter clogged, blower motor partially seized (both should have been inspected and rectified under the recal)..

Considering the number that have gone up in flames the replacement resistor pack looked as bad as the original.

My mate almost sold me his Zaf, it only had 45k on was mint condition but so glad I didn't. It had its 2 recalls passed but there's that stigma attached to them now. The bigots at work would have extracted the urine.

He's got a DPF failure at the moment, and considering the importance of the heater recal his dealer did an extremely poor job of it. Apparently Corsa's are going up in flames as well?.

Think you've dodged a bullet there!.
