A rare and exciting hot MPV producing 180 bhp from its 1.6 litre turbocharged Z16LET engine. 0-60 in 7.9 seconds, sports interior, and practical 5 seat layout, fold flat rear seats. Features 17" alloys, Recaro sports seats, and a spacious 350 litre boot with shelf. A unique blend of performance and practicality, ideal for those who love driving and German design. I love my car so hope to sell her to someone wanting a fast, responsive, workhouse of a mini-SUV, who will take the kitchen sink and a full roof-rack (available at extra cost) and still leave them standing at roundabouts. I bought her because Top Gear described the Meriva 1.6T VXR as "bonkers"; I love the feeling when the turbo kicks in - still do! and she holds 3 kids, 2 dogs, cases and bags without any discomfort and no noticeable drag on performance. Only around 250 reached the UK market so she really is a niche and rare hot-hatch-style mini-MPV. She has served me well . She has some scratches, a weird thumbprint type dent on the driver-side front wheel arch, and interior sag, but has been regularly serviced and still raring to go. The Recaro sport seat wraps around the driver, wonderful for one's back, and she's a high car, so getting in and out is really easy (as I'm also old with interior sagging) The 6-gears work beautifully, the CD blares - and she won't want to be a collector's car, she likes the road! High mileage, as she made many trips from the south to Scotland, usually packed to the gunnels.
