Summary
Average. After a mild facelift and a couple of new engines, the Meriva has become even more sensible.
Styling
The Merivas jellymould shape isnt particularly memorable - but the recent revisions have upped its appeal slightly.
Handling
Composed and safe but the front end rapidly runs out of grip if you get too keen - not the sort of driving the car really encourages, to be fair. VXR version is impressively composed at speed.
Comfort
The brilliantly designed cabin makes the Meriva dangerously close to being the perfect schoolrun taxi. Rear seat occupants will appreciate the generous legroom.
Quality
Well constructed, durable and tough-feeling - well up to the sort of treatment that kids are likely to give it.
Performance
All engines, with the exception of the base 1.4 litre petrol motor, delivery decent urge. VXR is massively fast - but too expensive compared to hot hatch rivals.
Roominess
Considering its compact external dimensions the Meriva does a decent TARDIS impression. The cabin has loads of space for both passengers and / or luggage - with lots of neat stowage solutions, too.
Costs
The bigger petrol engines are relatively thirsty by the standards of the segment, especially the VXR. Diesels are cheap to run, especially the new 1.3 CDTi. Servicing and insurance costs are low.
Value
Stingy standard equipment on the cheaper versions knocks the Merivas appeal to real bargain hunters - and towards the top end of the range it only really makes sense with a decent discount.
Stereo
The basic stereo looks cheap but sounds okay - upgraded systems are available. Satnav is no better than average.
