Citroen C3 Picasso (2009 - 2017)
1.6 HDi VTR+ 5dr People Carrier
It does what it says on the tin.
I have had my C3 Picasso for 15 months, and to my surprise, I have not found anything to complain about. After owning Hondas, Ford Focus and C-Max, this car holds it's own with them, perhaps not in ultimate driveability, but almost everything else. It got through 2009-10 winter, where there was road grip, pretty well. This winter, after fitting Goodyear all-season tyres, I got good traction, and with these fitted all round, I found handling just as good.
Driving position and visibility are excellent. A big surprise was a speedo accurate to 1 mph, with great visibility.
One weak point is the gearbox, which is stiff when cold and notchy as the roadtesters have found. Neverthless, I get 54mpg overall from the 1.6 diesel. Good stuff.
I look forward to a 4x4 version, but will it happen?
