Zafira tops chart of most searched for cars

The Vauxhall Zafira is the most searched* for car on leading new and nearly new car deals website**, SaveMoneyOnCars.co.uk this summer, a position usually reserved for small family or city cars.

So what is the secret to the Vauxhall Zafira’s enduring success? First introduced in 1999, the Zafira is still one of the most popular MPVs in the country, selling 43,169 in the UK last year alone. With nearly 400,000 sales since its launch, the car is perhaps best loved for its clever Flex7 seating which transforms it from a seven seater people carrier to a spacious load lugger in seconds.

In second place came the ever-popular Peugeot 207, the 6th most popular new car in the UK of 2009 to date. A combination of style, plentiful availability and competitive deals, the 207 remains one of the most popular cars in the UK – in both the new and used markets. Back in third place is the Ford Fiesta, which is leading the way in new cars sales according to Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) and is also performing well within the nearly new sector.

While new car sales are being dominated by the Fiesta, the nearly new market (cars up to three years old) tends to attract a different demographic. Families often look for space, quality and a good deal in their choice of motor- the Zafira fits these criteria.

Says SaveMoneyOnCars.co.uk’s Marketing Manager, Richard Lawton:” Nearly new car and pre-registered cars can be thousands of pounds cheaper than buying new. For families, watching the purse strings is vitally important, but they don’t want to forsake quality and room. Perhaps the Vauxhall Zafira is the ultimate value for money family car.”

With deals advertised on SaveMoneyOnCars.co.uk including a pre-registered ’09 reg Vauxhall Zafira 1.6 Active with delivery miles only for £13,995, saving £3,635 off the list price***, it is easy to see why the Zafira is so appealing.
