Vauxhall set out to widen the appeal of its Meriva MPV with the latest model. Steve Walker takes a look.

Preview
A good big 'un will always beat a good little 'un; the old adage has its exceptions but when we're talking about practical family cars, it usually holds just as true as it does when the punches start flying in the boxing ring. That's not to say that smaller models can't compete with the bigger boys by being more efficient, innovative and generally cleverer. That's what Vauxhall set out to achieve with the latest Meriva, but it hedged its bets by making the car quite a bit bigger too.
