2oceansDrive’s Gavin Williams took the new Opel Meriva 1.4 Turbo for a test… This is what he has to say about it, suicide doors and all.
Gavin Williams drives Opel’s bonkers little Corsa named after Germany’s biggest racing track – Opel Corsa OPC “Nurburgring Edition”.
I always find it quite hilarious that when a new hot hatch is launched it is almost immediately compared to the VW Golf. I don’t know when the Golf became the undisputed king of this segment, but what I do know is the last time I drove a hot Golf, it was without doubt one of the best cars I had ever driven. It was the all-wheel drive Golf R, and it’s going to take some beating. Enter the 2012 Astra OPC.
