Citroën Xsara Picasso 2.0 HDi SX 5d (2002/02) Owner Review

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Thought about second hand, but new one was hardly any more. Will probably get hit by depreciation, though.
Costs
Good fuel consumption - 40mpg around town, and up to 60 or even 70 on a longer run.

On the road
Driving
Rolls quite a lot on corners, but great on the motorway.
Performance
Plenty of strong pick-up in all gears.
-
Living with it
Reliability
No problems in 2+ years / 27000 miles.
Image
I like the fact that there's nothing else like it.
Comfort
More steering adjustment would be good, but I like the high driving position, and it's fine on long journeys. Middle rear seat is the prime location as you can stretch your legs right out between the front seats (no gear stick there).
