Baba opel is a good car, but it also needs to be handled by a mechanic who specialises in it. It is not for all roadside mechanics. I know what I'm saying.
If you are not careful, they will cause more damage to your vehicle during repairs and condemn it as a bad motor and advise you to stop using it.

People that never own or even drive opel before are here making noise. Ignorance everywhere....

My 2nd opel zafira will arrive within the week, after using the first one for about 4yrs plus. If you don't know anything about a car just keep mute.

It is obvious that you guys patronises quack technicians (kazeem) and expect good outcomes.

Which engine capacity is better to buy for the zafira if somebody wants to use it for transportation biz? They have 1.6, 1.8, 2.0, 2.2 engines

Any thoughts on that?

if U could get a Diesel Engine at 2 litre U would be better off!

op, think am well o. Car maybe quite good as they say but is it common around your area. You are planning to use the Opel in calabar, is it common there? And for commercial purpose, which means you will need parts and technician fairly regularly, are these available in calabar?
People in Jos, Bauchi, Abuja may be ok with it but look at your own area in calabar well o.

My only concern with the zafira is availability of a good technician to work on it, if it develops a fault, outside that nothing else, the car is reliable.

I noticed that Nigerian regions have cars that are popular in each region, in jos and bauchi Opel vectra , Sharon and vento are the most popular hence the parts and machnics are always available, so just check for the most dominant vehicle for ur kind of transport business, just like corrolla to uber


You nailed brother, Jos, Bauchi. Opel vectra, Sharon and vento. While Edo Audi.

Transportation business depends on your area.

In general, the Opel brand is not very good, especially since this model is too small to make transportation on it. This is perhaps for small businesses.

It really depends on your location. The car is good, strong, reliable and fuel efficient. But if you are intending to use it in areas outside North and North Central. U will have issues with parts and good mechanics. But it’s a very good car for transport Biz cos of fuel economy. I drove this car last year with fuel of approximately #950 (from Katsina to Makurdi) a distance over 725km. But the model is beginning to emerge in most parts of the country now

The opel is an amazing car.
Very strong. Good fuel economy and they are fast... Stable on high speed too.
If there is adequate support, available parts and capable Mechanics in your area, its a great choice. However like bigiyaro mentioned, do a survey of the vehicle thats mostly used in your area. That wld give U an idea of the parts and expertise you can access....

However on a good day tho, that opel na better motor forget

Baba the opel zafira is not fast and its not stable on high speeds ...I've one
