They drive almost the same as the Astra so its all down you r personal preference. If you like it then game on.
At least you could drive round smiling making a statement "hey ladies my tackle works"

Not much different to the Astra tbh I drove a standard one and it felt just the same as my old mk4 GSi and my mate had a Zaffy with a CS2 map and lowered on FK coilovers and that was okish

How about omega?? They have the size and space as zafira, although not 7 seats. MV6 or elite's are pretty quick, and its rear wheel driver 
I drive a 2.2 sport Omega, im 22.

Standard a Zafira GSi is not great, but probably still miles better than any other MPV on the market today.
Modified though, and it another story! Coming from a 240bhp coupe turbo I was dissapointed with the standard Zafira as it felt slow due to having only 189bhp and being pretty heavy. I soon had CS2 fitted which made a massive difference and a set of Eibach springs transformed the okay, but dodgy at times standard suspension.
Now though, it has a z20leh (Astra VXR engine) conversion and currently running stage 3 so 272bhp and 290lb/ft, although I am hoping to push that up to 300bhp soon with a further map to take into acount the new leh engine.
In summary, the Zafira Gsi is a good car standard form and an excellent car when modified!

I upgraded the C to eibach, they made a good difference. Then onto KW coilover's and So much better ! So if your Zaf is better on eibach's i would take the credit card and go further
