Citroën C4 Picasso (2013 - 2018) 1.6 e-HDi (115bhp) Exclusive 5d Owner Review

I bought a used specimen with only 6,900 miles on the clock. First impression was of the great space, comfort, and quietness from the lovely 1.6 diesel engine, which is extremely economical, I liked the gizmos such as the auto brake and the reversing camera. My wife was seriously ill and it was very cosseting to be driven in plus masses of room for a wheelchair. The central locking has a mind of its own and the stop start didn't due to a faulty pulley. These were fixed under warranty. I found it difficult to judge the position of the wheels owing to the rather bulbous nature of the bodywork and one does sit quite low with a massive dashboard reassuringly in the way of anything in front. The wheels ceased to look new owing to random encounters with curbs, not a problem I noticed with any other cars in the past. Dashboard gimmicky and awkward managing all functions from the 7in tablet..The aircon failed twice needing new condenser and compressor under warranty and the diesel filler cap failed also grabbing the nozzle and requiring two burly assistants to release it taking half an hour halfway down France. The steering was a little imprecise on mountain roads and there is significant body roll and wind sensitivity. I was probably unlucky, this particular vehicle was just not up to expected reliability.
