The Citroen C4 Picasso - a pleasure for both driver and passengers, eye-catching for everyone else! It makes an immediate impression with its dynamic, sophisticated styling – it’s compact, flowing and elegant all at once. And the wide angle panoramic windscreen, with large quarter-lights framed by slim pillars, as well as an exceptionally roomy interior, signify its Citroën “visiospace” identity.
Test drive the Citroen C4 Picasso today!

As previously stated I have had problems with the windscreen - in having double images at night. Like Susan Hydes I had problems getting showroom staff to see this. I eventually got hold of ’Chrissy Hughes’ at Citroen who advised this was a recognised problem but with no cure. She did authorise a new screen to be fitted but warned it may make the matter worse. The new screen is however the same as my last and like Mike Faben I feel it is not safe and I cannot understand how it can be deemed as fit.

Like Mike I am finding the triple vision of oncoming headlights more than annoying now. It’s dangerous and how the staff at the dealership where I bought it can’t see what I see I don’t know. Citroen customer relations deny any reports of this so until anyone else who has this problem but hasn’t reported it actually does so those of us who are increasingly niggled by it will get even more so!!! Other than the problem I have with the screen, I love the car. It is a comfortable car, spacious, economical and does drive smoothly once you get used to the gearbox. Please report this problem if you have it: looking at oncoming traffic at night (when driving in the dark) the further away oncoming vehicles are the worse the problem is. The oncoming headlights are like looking at headlights with a set of illuminated eyebrows above them and from a further distance you can even see another above that one. I would be interested to know how Mike got on with trading standards.

An ideal family car, good to drive with excellent visibility, a great flexible engine, very comfortable seats, the driver’s with easy adjustment to give a very comfortable driving position. The very simple six gear automatic mode is smooth once the driver becomes used to judging the changes to give the passengers a very unruffled journey. The display is very clear and the information that can be selected is simply found. Likewise, the sound system is good and easily used. There are plenty of storage spaces for the occupants of the first and second row, the kids in the back have very little however. The climate control is excellent with personal controls for both the front seat passenger and for those in the second row. Security is excellent, including laminated side windows with dimmed rear windows. There are built in sun blinds for all of the rear passengers including one on the opening glass in the hatch! Even with the dimmed glass the cabin is light and airy, helped by having a huge windscreen. The sun shields for the front passenger and driver are huge, sliding down a track to the level of the rear-view mirror, these shields let very little sun enter around them when driving when the sun is low in the sky. The car is proving to be almost as economical as our previous trouble free Xsara Picasso, for us our new car is a worthy replacement and we look forward to many happy and comfortable journeys.

My car is only 6 months old and has a burning smell - more or less since I got it. The brakes failed 2 days ago and also the clutch. Dealer now says I must have been driving with my feet on the clutch. I don’t do this - ever - I have been driving over 20 years. What can the problem be? Please help.

I have the C4 Hatchback. The windscreen is a major problem to me. Night driving is a nightmare because of the double and even triple vision! Oncoming car headlights, rear tail lights, brake lights and even street lights! You get an extra image of any light source just slightly above the true light source, then you get another image above that! It basically makes everything you see quite blurred and in my opinion this is a major safety issue. My car is a 2007 model and I have now made my dealer aware. I am awaiting feedback from Citroen and am approaching Trading Standards tomorrow. (Tuesday 13th Jan 2009), to see what to do next. As far as I can see the vehicle is not fit for purpose as it stands. If this problem can be resolved I would be completely satisfied with the car, if not it’s a waste of money.

Good to look at and roomy enough for four adults and their luggage without comfort being compromised. The drive is reasonable for the type of car although I get some tyre noise. The engine is smooth but the ESG gearbox is not, gear changes are slow and lumpy if driven hard. It is much better driven on manual rather than auto. Cabin controls are fiddly and take your eyes from the road, the panoramic windsreen is great for vision until sundown. With bright lights of the oncoming traffic the windscreen refracts the image and so lighting images double, very confusing. The effect is to have one set of lights plus a false image and when traffic is heavy it is easy to lose sight of cycles and motorcycles. Citroen have acknowledged this as a problem not just for my car and have changed my windscreen but true to their prediction, nothing has changed. I drive 25000 mile s a year and the car returns 50.4 mpg which is good for my pocket. Would I buy another? Yes I would even given my niggles.
