Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

I purchased a Vauxhall/Opel Meriva B Turbo 1.4new from local dealership in Poland, june this year as new 2016 product. There are few things that the dealers/company do not tell its buyers: 1) the transmission supposedly advertised as automatic AT6 is in fact a semi automati easytronic with no hydrokinetic converter, which is not as comfortable as a true automatic.( a big advertising lie of the company) 2) the turbo aspirated engine developes more heat than thought, and during the summer its ECT temperature upon computer diagnosis usualy is higher than on the dashboard goes above 100-107 C. which affects its AC cooling performance making the vehicle unfomfortable 3)The temperature on the dashboard does not reflect the true engine temp in the 90 C which remains in that vicinity, again another engine product made to last only for a few years, so that people wouldnt be able to drive them over a decade longer. 4)Korean assemble materials with poor quality rubber parts, including smely corrision protection of the lower chassis make it annoying to drive after purchase 5)As I lost 67kPLN I do not wish to reccomend Opel/Vauxhall meriva b to anyone who is serious about buying a reliable vehicle.
