Summary
What does this car say about you?
Most people say it makes me look like an old man - but I love it! (Im 17 lol)
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Most of them like it I think, they are very popular around here anyway :)
Would you buy this car again and why?
DEFINETELY! Next time however, I will go for the 1.6HDi (110BHP model) Exclusive as it will have alot more pulling power and general pace! The Exclusive will also have alot more luxuries (Climate Control etc...)

Didn't buy from a dealer

No

£1,250

October 2008

Yes! £1250 for a 1.6 SX with only 71000 on the clock is a bargain in my opinion.

I like the Picasso itself, found it nice to drive in as a passenger, so got one myself.
What was the dealer like?
Very Friendly!

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Quite nice really! There isnt enough power to it though. It can pull its own weight, but for towing, forget it! Its fine in town and is also pretty nippy when its empty.
What's it like to park?
Not too bad! Could do with some parking sensors but thats to help ease my laziness :)

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Apart from the Idle Control Valve, no nothing :)
What's most practical about your car?
The rear seats can be removed to cart tons of junk to the dump :)
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Like the Digital Displays and the rear seat that slides back and forth like the front seats is pretty cool!
