Useful, practical load carrier

This car was bought in 2008 to replace an earlier similar Meriva. The only problem with the previous one was replacement of the exhaust gas valve (twice) in 65,000 miles.
I have now done 65,000 miles in the present one, without problems, until last week, when one of the rear windows stopped working, and the rear wipers won't park properly. I have yet to have these problems looked at.
This is an extremely practical load carrying vehicle for its' size, and although uninspiring, I have no real criticisms, other than the 'A' pillar visibility mentioned by others.
I thought that I would review this car, positively, as most people only seem to report on vehicles when they have had problems with them, and I am trying to redress the balance.
