The VAUXHALL MERIVA (2010-13) 5DR MPV 1.7 CDTI DPF 110 EU5 SE AUTO6 is a compact five-door people carrier, offering more headroom and useful cabin flexibility than a conventional family hatchback without the bulk of a large MPV. In the UK used-car market, it sits among affordable family cars. The 1.7-litre diesel and six-speed automatic make this Meriva a relaxed choice for commuting, school runs and longer journeys; its raised seating and rear-hinged back doors make access easier, especially in tight parking spaces. It suits families, older passengers and drivers wanting an easy-to-use, economical alternative to a conventional hatchback. Its rear doors and flexible cabin distinguish it from rivals such as the Citroën C3 Picasso, while the automatic favours comfort.
