Vauxhall Meriva - 90sec review by autocar.co.uk

[pedroatlarge]

I own one and it is extremely practical, roomy and comfortable, nice to drive and the 120 Turbo engine is more than adequate for driving on all types of roads. I have carried an 87 year-old in the back, access was easy. A child seat is fitted easier than on any other car that I have had and I have taken prodigious amounts of garden rubbish to the tip. The new Meriva is designed for people who are serious about cars not because they are a boy racer but because they live in the real world.

@alejosky
Opels in UK are called Vauxhalls

[saavaa]

@StalePhish you're right, take Vette ZR1 for example, in US it cost around $100k, and in Europe it is £100k ($160k)... Does it really cost extra $60k to transport it to Europe, I don't think so.

[StalePhish]

@saavaa Good thing I live in America then! I heard it is cheaper for an Australian to come to the US and buy a G8 and bring it back with them than it is to buy a G8 (Holden VE Commodore) down there

[toniomineo]

nice car, a friend of us as it and she loves it, it's much simpler to access the child seat!

[alejosky]

No, wait... so, what happened to Opel?

[jtalby]

Shame it looks a bit like someone's given up in trying to make the back end presentable.

[StalePhish]

Wow that costs as much as my Pontiac G8 V8 with 360hp!

[saavaa]

@StalePhish yeah, cars in Europe are much more expensive... that G8 in Europe would cost double

[scootosan]

kind of cool little car like the suicide doors have my douts about top speed of 122mph perhaps if it were dropped from a 10 story platform ahahahahh
