The A-pillar takes a bit of getting used to if you've driven other cars like hatchbacks but like all cars, you get used to driving position and what you need to do. Our Vauxhall dealer keeps calling trying to get us to book a service as it's 1 year old despite their sales pitch and literature being 20k/2 years so ignoring them for now, running fine and service light not on. Other than that can't really fault ours, got it at a good price and it's done what we needed(space for kids/family and flexibility of boot space etc.)

Funny to say them two cars as my mate has both of them, i was talking to him the other night about them and he said they are both really nice cars, and he got a got deal with the rio like cashback and free servicing etc.

I am also intrested in the Meriva, but i want the automatic one (easytronic), but these seem difficult to find.Also i can't find a review of this easytronic system , i am use to a automatic car but am not too sure how different this easytronic system is.

Syman

i bought one.

i jumped in with both feet and did it.

got £1999 off list price (though still a bit more than internet price) i prefer dealing face to face.

in any case i am pleased with the deal i got which is what irt is all about.

thanks for all of your posts giving advice.

did you go with their finance deals where they contribute to your deposit aswell, quite easy to cancel after a month, ours equated to an extra £2.5k off the car (on top of the 'Vauxhall Partners' discount)

Syman

no, nothing like that was offered, but then i am paying for the car outright. we have saved up the money over the last 3 years. scrimping here and there.
