The Vauxhall Meriva

When you look at the Vauxhall Meriva there are a few points you have to consider. It has some special features that can make it stand out in the mini mpv market but it also lets itself down a bit on some of the basic features on the basic models.

So the advantages of buying a Vauxhall Meriva, well it offers great interior space, the capacity is good but it’s also a car that gives an illusion of space as well which means you won’t feel cramped on long journeys.

This feature is also helped by the clever seating arrangements; the seats in the back can be altered so they turn at an angle. This feature also gives more room if you are carrying adults in the back of the car. The middle seat folds away and the two outer seats can be turned in. This ingenious solution is called flex space.

The seats are positioned quite high this mean there is good visibility out of the car from most seats in it this can prevent car sickness in the back and helps the driver see where he or she is manoeuvring the car.

This car is pretty much designed for those long journeys and its final great feature is its sound insulation that means when you are driving on a motorway it stays fairly quiet.

Unfortunately the Zafira is let down by some other issues, it looks fairly bland, it is not an interesting drive unless you get the turbo version and then it feels a little to powerful for a car for transporting kids but if you are looking for a more powerful car then the turbo version could be for you. The base model isn’t to good on extras, they are available but you need to spend a bit more. The high side of the car can make windy conditions a little harder to drive in.

Overall this a practical car if you have kids and is great for longs on the motorway. If you already have one and are looking for Vauxhall Meriva parts, look no further than Megavaux.
