Vauxhall Meriva

4 Stars!!! Much too generous! I'd give it 2.5 Stars!!

4 Stars!!! Are are you joking! for such a boring, passionless, ordinary, common, unimaginative looking car! Everything about it, is average! So, Id give it 2.5 Stars!! And that's being kind!

not impressed

Having owned the original meriva and currently owning a zafira design id like to say i like the rear doors(as our other car is a mini clubman) but then i think the whole concept drops like a bomb, ive not used a electronic parking brake so i will reserve my judgement, the front looks demented like the new corsa restyle, and what is this obession with tyre inflation kit? im not going 800 mile to brittany without a spare wheel , get real vauxhall especially on a family car. The insignia was a revelation, the astra is ok but he meriva? god help us when the new zafira is released. uninspired and my last six cars have been vauxhall.

54.3 mpg!!!

Autoexpress quote 54.3mpg for this car, I have the same vehicle in auto guise and the most i can manage on the motorway is 40mpg. Around town i struggle to get 26mpg and im sorely disappointed with the returns im getting. I knew the fuel returns would be slightly higher due to it being an auto but with diesels supposedly being very efficient i am gobsmacked at the figures im getting. I drive at the speed limits and on the motorway i never top 65mph so whats going on??

Dissapointed

We currently run a Motability Vauxhall Zafira which we are due to change in September 2011. We were hoping that a new Zafira would have been released by now, but it looks like another six moths at least before we see this in the showrooms.
So we decided to look at the new Meriva, as we can manage with a smaller car instead of a seven seater. As long as we can get a small mobility scooter in the boot, then that's all we need.

We had a test drive in the Meriva and liked it, except for the rear opening doors, which we were not really keen on. We have not seen very many on the road and being that they came out in Sept 2010, there should be plenty about by now (Aug 2011) We have decided to go for the new Nissan Juke, which, once you have had a drive, you feel that you don't want to get out of it. This car is roughly the same size as the Meriva and although the boot is slightly smaller, we can get the scooter in there without having to drop the back seats. So I am afraid that the Meriva is not an option as far as we are concerned and we don't want another out dated Zafira.
