On the road
Driving
Door posts a pest at first, but tell me one car that doesn't have a blind spot. Rolls a bit in corners, but it is French.
Performance
First oil burner I've ever had. Don't think I will buy petrol again.
-
Living with it
Reliability
No problems to speak of.
Image
Great shape, but you've got to see the proposed Picasso 2.
Comfort
Great. Could drive it forever and loads of room.
-
Security and Service
Security
Needs an alarm just to stop the spare wheel being nicked.
Service
The dealers in general are not to bad, but Citreon UK can leave a lot to be desired.
