Xsara Picasso versus C3 Picasso
I am 6'10" tall, aged 66 and currently have a 2-litre Xsara Picasso Exclusive HDI.
I love the styling, size, driving position, mpg. etc. but it is seven years old at 75,000 miles.
Should I be starting to think of a replacement or do you think it has a while to run yet. The newer C3 Picasso has great reviews but I am having difficulty with the styling. Should I just bite the bullet or would you suggest another make and model?

The 2.0 HDI is worth hanging onto for a bit longer, partly because it doesn't have a dual mass flywheel or a diesel particulate filter and it should do 50mpg. But it does have a timing belt and that needs replacing.
