Citroën C3 Picasso (2009 - 2017) 1.6 HDi 16V Exclusive (110bhp) 5d (2009/09) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

That I am different. I have not seen anyone who drives one yet although I am sure that will change.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They like it although what they think doesn't really matter. Its what I like that counts.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Most likely as it is well built and very comfortable and I am sure in 3 years time a facelift C3 picasso will be out which will be even better.

What are you likely to buy next?

Possibly another C3 picasso.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£16,000

When did you buy the car?

May 2009

Did you get a good deal and why?

Not a massively good deal as it was a new model out but got the panoramic roof for £300 as apposed to £600 plus a memory stick port.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I wanted a car with a high up driving position and plenty of toys and comfort. I considered a Grand Modus and Nissan Note but the C3 Picasso is better in all areas.

What was the dealer like?

Excellent. Hope it keeps that way. I am sure it will.

What's it like to drive?

Drives very well. I have the 110 bhp 1.6 hdi not the lower powered 90 bhp version. Performance is very good and the high gearing makes for a more relaxing drive. The only minor gripe is gearbox is slightly notchy but is getting better as I am putting the miles on.

What's it like to park?

Mine has parking sensors and the music volume drops when you reverse so you can hear the sensors. Very easy to park as all round visibility is excellent

Have you had any problems with the car?

No

What's most practical about your car?

The rear seats are a doddle to fold and there is plenty of rear leg room

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The cruise control, digital speedo and built in air freshner
