Vauxhall Meriva
The upcoming Vauxhall Meriva is a great car if you’ve got a big family. The new Vauxhall Meriva aims to be a family car offering enough space to fit kids as well as grown-ups. Although there are better family cars available on the market, the Vauxhall Meriva is a pretty good choice considering the fact that it’s a mid-sized family car with lowerish running and maintenance costs. One of the things that make this car an ideal choice for a family that doesn’t travel outside of the town too much, is the fact that Vauxhall Meriva’s servicing and running costs are very low.
One of the most interesting facts about this car is the interior; although it’s not badly made, the design is unfortunately quite dull but practical at most times. It will take you a bit of time to get used to the folding and sliding mechanisms of the seats, but once you’ll get used it’s going to be a life saver when traveling with the whole family or carrying groceries.
The rear seat is split 40:20:40 and can fold in any proportion. Also, the center 20 bit can disappear and the outer 40s move in and back to increase legroom.
On the technical side, the Vauxall Meriva is a pretty tall car, thus handling is a bit ungainly - especially at mid-corner bumps.
For a town car, the Vauxhall Meriva is a pretty good choice taken into consideration that the base model only costs £9,982 and the tall eye point and the small size make it a great town car.
