Should I buy a Vauxhall Zafira 1.6 petrol?

My local dealer is advertising a new petrol Vauxhall Zafira 1.6i Exclusiv for less than £10,000 – a huge saving on the £18,000 list price. I've driven them as hire cars and found them underpowered but versatile. Do you know any pitfalls with this car?

Yes, underpowered.

Clunky seven seat arrangement.

But for £10,000 on a 13 plate, not a bad deal.
