LolaLayla Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Does anyone have one of these cars (the back doors are hinged at the rear) and if so do you like it? We were looking at one today. I looked online for reviews when I got home but could not find many for this model. There was quite a lot about the previous one which had power steering problems highlighted in Watchdog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadietoo Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Sorry I don't know anything about this new model, but my uncle's complaint with his old style one was visibility...he nearly knocked someone over due to the very wide posts at the side of the windscreen and so got rid... Maybe check that they've improved that before you buy too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaLayla Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 I think the body shell has changed so hopefully that will have been improved. I will check it though. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaLayla Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 We test drove it and an Auris. I think the Auris was a better drive although I did like the doors in the Meriva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I had the old shape before my recent car and I agree the body frame beside the windscreen causes a blind spot. Also had the power steering problems however they were repaired under warranty, as was a faulty where the hazards would come on whenever they felt like it. I liked it though, was great car. I have seen the new mode and. Don't think it can be compared to the older style as its soo different. But as this newer style has been out a few years now ( I think) I am amazed there's no reviews. Prole are too busy out driving in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaLayla Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Family still in discussions about it. Think most like the Auris..not as interesting but we seem to be being offered a good deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
