The VAUXHALL MERIVA (2010-13) 5DR MPV 1.4 T 16V 120 EU5 EXCITE is a compact five-door people carrier, roomier and more flexible than a hatchback, but less bulky than a larger MPV. In the UK used-car market it is a practical family car competing with the Ford B-Max and Nissan Note. It suits growing families, commuters and anyone wanting an easy-to-park car with useful space for passengers and shopping.
