Vauxhall Meriva 1.6 Mini Review

+ves: Stick-on magnetic flashing "cop show" light.

-ves: Flashy light is not blue. Car also suffers from being gutless, thirsty, geared too tall, having an iffy steering column and a cracked windscreen.

Yesterday, Autoglass decided that as our insurance excess is £500, a new windscreen costs £400.16

My employer decided the windscreen could stay cracked.

Jobs a goodun!

Windscreen excess is different to crash excess normally, 50 quid is the going rate, just had mine done.

Unless your company is scrimping on third party insurance.

Had one on hire, it's as bad as the Seat Altea.

It's the motability car of choice for those of a pensionable age. Must be the ease of ingress / egress post hip op what seals the deal.

we managed to eventually sell the VXR one they had at work. the sales manager has never been so happy as we thought it was going to be there for a good 20 years. and yes they did actually bother to do a VXR meriva.... dunno what the f*ck goes through the bods heads at vauxhall sometimes!

Quite a lot of fleet insurance policies do not have windscreen cover. And knowing who he works for and where he works a £500 excess is remarkably low.

Bullets would be just fine.
