Thank you for an excellent matter-of-fact review. The Meriva is a car for me - quirky looking and very practical. Sadly, such vehicles are being replaced by omnipresent crossovers

No problems with my 1.4 turbo 6 speed... 108 000km full service history. Just take good care of your Riva..... 😁

I have never understood the motoring press's insistence that this is a B platform MPV. To me it's an obvious direct competitor to a Ford C Max

Good review. The car looks great. I have one a white 1.4 140bhp petrol SE model. Trouble is although bigger than the old Meriva in width its not that much bigger inside. Also the six speed manual gear box is rubbish. Many fail around 70k miles including mine. My old 1.6 petrol Meriva with a different 5 speed box has hit 108k on the same gearbox with no problems.

There is also 120hp turbo version which has the oldschool 5-speed manual, and those are bulletproof.

Good afternoon, thanks for the video, in any case is it advisable to buy this version of Meriva?

Never mind all the needless toys we don't need, does it have proper full spare wheel?

Very interesting although I must disagree with the performance figure My 1.4 turbo petrol version returns about 30 mpg with very careful driving. Really like the car otherwise apart from a couple of early water and engine issues.

Mines a 2014 1.4 turbo version, and its been the most unreliable car I've ever had the misfortune to encounter, never mind own. In 3 and a half years of ownership its cost me nearly £7,000 in repairs.

Unreliable engine… 1.4 turbo blew up at 60k

That may have been your experience but the same engine has powered hundreds of thousands of vehicles millions of trouble free miles.

What are you talking about fool ? Anyone that is looking for used Meriva B would choose much more reliable A17DT not garbage 1.6 cdti. At least anyone with any car knowledge.

1.6 is a rubbish engine. The 1.7 it a much better unit
