Lady looking for car advice. Small/Medium MPV - thoughts please?

[Jbck]

Thinking of a Vauxhall Meriva, DH not very keen but it'd be my car so who cares tbh, he's only paying for it
What else is out there similar or a little bigger that you have/would like to have/would never have? Looked at the Ford C-Max but a little bigger than I'm looking for, unless anyone says they are fab I'll have another look.
Not wanting anything that has the 7 seat option but need a decent boot space. I drive a Toyota Avensis just now but my daily journey to work has been cut by 90% due to house move so I don't need something so big & guzzly. DD is 5 but another LO on the way so the usual requirements.
TIA I've posted in Products too.

C-Max owner here.....traded down from a Jeep Grand Cherokee and absolutely love it. Got the 2.0TDI Zetec(diesel). Get 36-40mpg. Very roomy for a small MPV (bit like a Tardis) as very compact from the outside. Very easy to drive too. Very good boot space - I got a petrol lawn mower in there at the weekend!
