I know its a strange comparison but im booked in to view the meriva and they als have a Cclass for the same price.
Meriva is 2015 55k Techline spec (heated seats and steering wheel) 5 owners.
C class is 2011 88k poverty spec 7 owners.

Which one is the better car for carrying an older relative in?

Righto ok.
Have to admit the number of owens was a concern but the meriva has been with current owner since 2018, so it had 4 owners in its first 3 years ( vauxhall,demo, 2 lots of pcp/lease company maybe?) so it cant be that sinister.

The heated seats in the Vauxhall may just be front only, worth checking if that’s one of the selling points & the heated steering wheels aren’t great, a little patchy where it’s heated and not that warm.
Yeah i think its only the front, but ive never had a car with them so little bit excited. Guess the steering wheel is just a gimmick then?

I agree about the Merc having really bad rear space, I really wanted one a few years ago in C63 guise but I couldn't make it work in the end mainly due to rear space in the back seats.

It depends on your specific needs OP, the Meriva is far better for passenger access and the Merc is very basic spec inside which would probably put me off.
This is where im at, having to get someone who isnt very mobile in and out of a car isnt easy hence switching from the current Panda, 6k budget btw for those asking (petrol only)
