I currently have a Meriva Diesel purchased new in 2004. It has done 72k miles with a lot of motorway driving. I had a plan to purchase the new Meriva next year when it will have been in production for a year. I like the look of it and the old Meriva copes well with trips to the tip and also when my 2 adult daughters are with us. My mechanic tells me that the current Meriva is quite rusty inside. We had a problem with the glow plug relay and the connections in there were rusty, as were some bolts when he was working on it. I am therefore looking for a vehicle that can cope with 4 adults and I am thinking of the new Meriva, a diesel Golf or a Nissan Note. I would be grateful for your thoughts.
