Citroen Xsara Picasso 1.6i

...what I'm doing reviewing another Citroen Picasso. Am I simply trying to get more Ciao points? Am I trying to earn an extra pound or two with another review ? Have I changed my car, and using the review as a subtle way of letting my friends know of my upgrade? It is sad that people have such a low estimate of me, isn't it? Not one of those reasons has spurred me to write this review of one of Citroen's latest versions of the ever popular Picasso. ...
...review of my brand new Citroen ! 1 Why a VTX ? &&&&&&&&&&& Well might you ask the question. When they have Desires and Exclusives, what on earth do they need a VTX for? The idea is simple and clever. If you want to sell cars in massive volumes, you need to get fleet and business people on board. However, fleet and business people have to pay tax and extra National Insurance, if the firm provides a car. Even worse, is the fact that the more ...

Review of Citroen Xsara Picasso 1.6i

...My Joys ====== Citroen provide a contraption in the boot for your shopping - my joy was removing it and storing it in the garage - it is too small and complicated for quick shopping trips. My car had a dog guard fitted, and, again, my joy was storing it as per the shopping crate. True joy is a boot big enough for all my fishing gear; With back seats folded, I can get four dustbins of garden clippings down to the refuse dump; And with the rear ...
...bedside cabinet - all assembled - in at one time! Grandson's joy is the aircraft type trays on the rear seats, and the drinks containers on the middle rear seat when folded down. If you like storage space, this car is a joy. My Costs ======= I have had the car for a whole year, and the average mpg is 38, which is not bad for this size of car, driven mostly in the city. On long runs 45 is easy to get, and that means about 500 miles on a tankful. ...

Review of Citroen Xsara Picasso 1.6i

...since we purchased outr New Citroen Xsara Picasso Desire in metalic dusky lilac and although it hasn't covered that many miles I though it was time to write a review. We wanted a four door car, just for the fact that it they provide easy acess and generally have more boot space. Having test driven many standard 4 door saloons and hatchbacks we heared an advert for the Citroen Xsara Picasso and decided to give one a go. There is not much to say ...
...not MPV is although it is better looking than many of its rivals. The interior is solidly, with plenty of storage room. Each of the door bins can hold a litre bottle, whilst there in an extra compartment in the centre console, however there are no actual cup / mug holders which at times can be frustrating. In the rear there are two further compartments in the floor wells. The seats are comfy and offer reasonable support and each of the 2 front seat ...

Review of Citroen Xsara Picasso 1.6i

...model i have is a Citroen Zsara Picasso Desire HDI 1997cc. 2005 model. I get approx 37 mpg. I've not had any mechanical problems (touch wood) its been a right little trooper. It gets hammered as well. I just don't recommend going round corners too fast, like most higher cars they sometimes feel a little unsafe! As long as you're no boy racer - which you deffinately wouldn't have one of these! - Corners aren't really a problem! So if you have a ...

Review of Citroen Xsara Picasso 1.6i

As a new young family who previously owned a Vauxhall Corsa the step up to the Xsara Picasso was a big one. I had only previously driven small hatchbacks (being new to the driving scene, as working in London there is rarely a need to drive). Anyway the test drive of this baby was great. The seats were comfortable and then some. To be honest this car is a danger on long journeys as with the arm rests and very soft, very comfortable seats can make ...
...the mid range model with the 1.6 engine. In the hot weather the air/con is a godsend and cools the car from touching the steering wheel causes third degree burns to the hands to something rather more comfortable. The front seats have bags of room but this is not at the expense of the rear passengers. The three seperate rear seats are all an ideal size and you can comfortably get someone in next to a baby car seat (a problem I have had in the past). ...

Review of Citroen Xsara Picasso 1.6i

Citroen Xsara Picasso "Desire" 1.6 petrol. After 6 yrs of driving a Fiat Punto, it was time for a change. I wanted something entirely different to the Peugeot 106 we also have use of. My options were to get a family hatchback, of the Ford Focus class, or for less money, I could get a Citroen Xsara Picasso. As a young man of 28, with no kids, the idea of driving a "kiddie carrier" was going to take some getting used to. However, the wheelbase and ...
...hatchback, such as a Focus, or the standard Xsara, so it really made sense to buy something which offered more as regards practicality. In any case, what can you do with a Focus which you can't do with a 106 (except drive faster). I've been driving the Picasso for nearly a year now, and I've gradually got used to it. Loading it with bikes, hardware and the like is no problem, as it serves as a van just as much as a "people carrier". Long journeys ...

Review of Citroen Xsara Picasso 1.6i

Irecently bought a second hand 2ltr diesal version and so far I am extremely impressed with it. The fuel return in terms of mpg is exceptional returning an average of 44mpg according to the trip computer which covers both urban and rural driving. I agree with the first poster that it is an extremely comfortable car but again like the first poster an absolute sod to park, there are so many blind spots but I am learning to adapt. One oddity is that ...
...full heat and blowers to clear (which it does very quickly) perhaps I need to look at my temperature settings. To llok at it reminds me of the jelly mould my mother had when I was a child back in 19 plonk, it is only missing the rabbits ears ! It has therefore been christened the jelly mould. In conclusion I would recommend the car to prospective buyers. ...
