Which engine is best for the Vauxhall Zafira Tourer?

We are looking at Vauxhall Zafira, which engine is better, the 1.4 petrol or 1.6 diesel?

Most of the drive is for short journeys, but we do make a longer journey (100 miles round) on weekends.

Stick with the 1.4-litre petrol. It'll be better suited to your short journeys, while there are loads available on the used market. It's a surprisingly punchy engine considering its capacity, too.
