Vauxhall Meriva (2010 - 2017)
1.4 vvt
we really like this car against the pre reg price of £10k
Bought as a car my wife can take to work on a and b roads c.30 miles a day. We bought the life 1.4 vvt petrol version, not looking for speed or fuel economy. Instead we wanted space and something which could be used for a couple of euro road trips each year. We took it to Saint Omer for an over nighter, 5 adults and a boot load of wine/ beers/ food. Very comfortable.
For £10k as a pre reg with 5 miles on the clock the package takes a lot of beating given the dimensions, ride height, relative comfort. It has cruise control, aircon, bluetooth and usb inputs. Clever rear seats which slide in multiple directions to suits your needs. 16 inch alloys aswell and front fogs so no need to be afraid of pauper spec ribbing.
The engine is okay we get 35-40 mpg and yes it will need extra gear changes when fully loaded with people and luggage but we are happy to live with this and recommend to others but test drive it yourself.
Its odd but the brand I refused to look at when buying was Vauxhall and its the one I ended up with, just dont pay list price and check out the press/ internet for pre registered deals, there are loads.
