Flexible rear seating. Ride height.
Major visibility problems when approaching roundabouts junctions or even following other vechiles round a right hand corner.
Bought 1.6 8v Vauxhall Merviva Life People Carrier, it's a great car, drives well and a nice height. Seating is very clever in the back, makes the back so spacious when seats collapsed and configurations are ingenious. Gives kids stacks of room for legs and tons of toys! However we found the pillar either side of the windscreen ridiculously dangerous, if you follow another car
Round a right hand corner you will completely lose it and should they stop you probably wont know until you have run in to the back of the poor unsuspecting person in front. Again this problem reoccurs at roundabouts and junctions and any other point where high visibility is an important factor. You must have your wits about you if you were to purchase this car which is a damn shame because of its other undoubted good points. Up to the point that we returned the car we covered 150 miles on half a tank of fuel approx 26 litres about 22/25 mpg. Value for money in actual purchase price. But at what price safety?
