Pros: We are already driving with the second Meriva, because the first one in 2004. suffered accident and it was more profitable to buy a new car. It is now 1.7 cdti at 92kw and 125hp. engine and 6-speed gearbox. The engine is very dynamic and economical. There will be no over 5 l consumption on the highway if you don't have to overtake constantly, but there is absolutely no problem with overtaking. Could have been wider because two men in the front have a stern, while on back 3 people can sit safely. The boot is average and overall the capacity of such a small car is good. Repairs are rarely needed and parts are cheap and affordable. All in all, if you need a small but powerful and at the same time economical car, reliable in everyday, inexpensive repairs, roomy enough, then the Meriva is the right car.
Cons: Could be wider.
