We're owners of a little diesel Meriva and we love it. It's economical for DH's lengthy commute, super-parkable, cavernous inside once the seats are folded down, has back seats which can seat 3 but have the option of two much bigger seats (great for long journeys with our two DC), reasonable stereo and very comfortable. The main complaint is the lack of lighting in the back seat, annoying for a family car, but otherwise we're delighted with it.
