Citroën Xsara Picasso 2.0 HDi SX 5d (2000/W) Owner Review

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Citroen residuals have seldom been good - be interesting to watch this one in view of its popularity.
Costs
Long service intervals help keep running costs at a reasonable level. Tyre wear not good - tendency to scrub the shoulders and wear rate is high.
-
On the road
Driving
Biggest problems are blind spots and reflection of dash on the front screen.
Performance
Could definitely use the 110HDi engine - makes all the right noises, but takes too long to get there.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Fantastic! Bought at 19k miles and now done 70k miles and not missed a beat.
Image
Most people love the shape - the kids love it because they can see out easily and have trays to build Lego on!
Comfort
Doesn't compare with my old CX Familiale - but what does?
-
Security and Service
Security
Definitely needs an alarm system - just too easy to see into the boot, even with the cover on.
Service
A couple of recalls but it's a new model - generally attentive and helpful.
