..: Driving The Picasso :.. The driving position is good, the clutch is not too heavy, and the steering wheel height is adjustable, the gearstick is mounted on the dashboard so its higher than normal cars, it will take a bit of getting used to but it's alright once your are used to it.
..: Engine :.. My model is an SX so it has fog lamps, CD player and Air Conditioning as standard. The engine is a 1.8l, its top speed is 105mph and it can make 118bhp. The brakes are good as well. The car has power assissted brakes and power steering. It also has an average MPG of 35mpg
..: Storage Space :.. The boot is rather big and strapped to the side of it is a little fold away trolley! There is a pull out tray kind of thing under the drivers seat containing the car's hand book. In the rear of the car, on the floor is two little compartments that could store something about the size of an argos book in. The glove box has a lot of space and it also has a pen and 2 cup holders. All 3 rear seats can be removed for added space.
..: Stereo :.. The SX model which i have has an AM/FM radio with CD player. The CD player doesn't have options like random track or program tracks. The stereo can memorise 6 station frequencys and their names. The stereo can also be controlled by switches on the steering wheel.
..: Rear Of The Car :.. The back of the car has 3 proper seats all with proper seat belts. The middle seat can also fold down and be used as an arm rest and cup holder for people in the back! The two window seats in the back also have a little picnic table with cup holder on the back of the seat in front! All 3 rear sets will fold down and can be removed.
..: Safety :.. This is a safe car with a 4-star NCAP rating, there is a front passenger air bag, drivers airbag and there is an airbag in the side of each front seat. The seat belts also have that feature that when you crash the seat belt will lock so you cant go forwards through the windscreen. Safety First!
..: Summary :.. If you want a practical car this is a good choice but if you also want a meal when travelling from A to B this is an even better car!
