Verity Longmire, Nottinghamshire

Citroen Xsara Picasso 2004

A fantastic car perfect for families, young and old. Plenty of boot space plus added space when the entire back seats completely collapse. Above all it is an absolute dream to drive very smooth.

A great roomy car that has been very reliable over the 4.5 years I have owned it.

Citroen Xsara Picasso 2.0HDi 2001

Excellent spacious seats - able to fit 3 child seats across the back, 2 with Isofix. Not impressed with fuel economy. Seem to get about 35mpg around town and 45mpg on a run - less if we have the roof box on. Solid car, we have had to fix odd bits on it. Eg: brakes, exhaust, but it is 7 years old now, so nothing not expected for its age. Reliable and drives brilliantly. Very comfy. Would buy again.

Citroen Xsara Picasso Exclusive. 2006

I have owned two, the first from new for 4 years being the 1.8 petrol exclusive and the second a 06 plate 2.0 petrol exclusive. I was so impressed with my first picasso it made perfect sence to go for the second, now 2 1/2 years old I have not regretted that decission for a sec. The 52 plate exclusive was impressively equiped but I was very impressed with the additional equipment on the later model having traction control/cruise control/auto lights & wipers/boot net and improvements to int & ext styling and trim quality, in short given they are the same car the newer model drives and feels noticably better. The cars space and practicality for our family in this price bracket is hard to beat. I intend to continue along this road and buy the C4 picasso in a year or so. Thank you Citroen, keep up the good work.

Citroen Xsara Picasso 1.6Hdi 2008

As basic good value family transport, that can cope with kids, dogs and a whole family luggage this vehicle is still very hard to beat for the price. The 1.6Hdi is surprisingly quick for overtaking once it is away from a standing start. Ours easily achieves 55 to the gallon and gets driven very briskly when on long journeys. 34K and only one minor fault (heater fan switch) repaired under warranty. Services (non franchised) cheap. All tyres original. It does what it says on the tin. A great cruiser when loaded. Quiet and spacious. We paid just over £11k for ours new - on the net. Both my daughters have the 2.0Hdi version. Both delighted, both trouble free.

Citroen Xsara Picasso 2002

A very comfortable drive. Very reliable for the 2 years I had it. Only downside is that it had no holding power on ice or snow. Traded in, for that reason, for Nissan Almera Tino.

Citroen Xsara Picasso 2.0 Hdi 2005

Just an update since my last posting. The Picasso has found that it enjoys ’named’ diesel more than Tesco’s! ... drives much more smoothly on BP or Total, engine is much quieter and more responsive. On Tesco’s the engine response very ’on/off’; on the named brands it more controllable and just all round better... Even at a few more pence per litre it is well worth it! I still haven’t got used to the brakes.. A known problem on the 2.0 diesels ... they are so sharp! So you have to be heavier footed on the throttle and lighter on the brake pedal, and that is difficult. It also has the normal Picasso trait of being moved around a bit by sidewinds. The engine though is great on the motorway, quiet, powerful and smooth... It’s very easy to end up going faster than you should! I’m still happy with it, and if you need the space/size but with decent fuel economy (I’m averaging now around 55mpg), this is a car that should be high on your list to look at and test drive.

Great space, economy and comfort. After-sales service letting the experience down.

Citroen Xsara Picasso 2.0 HDI 2005

This is my second one, the first being a 1.8 SX on a Y plate which I owned for 4yrs. The diesel takes a little getting use to as you have to be a little heavier on the right foot and be a gear down on where you would be in the petrol! I mostly drive on the motorway and by staying between 56 to 60 mph I am getting just over 60mpg (based on the amount of fuel I put in, not on the on-board computer), I was getting around 45 in the 1.8 petrol driving in the same way... so a lot better. A great car, at good prices, versatile, roomy, nice high seating position and lots of ’kit’ on-board for the price. I would recommend the Picasso to anyone thinking of buying one.

Citroen Xsara Picasso 2006

In addition to my last report... It was found that a part under the engine/radiator had been left off when repair/service had been done allowing stone to damage radiator. Citroen will still not replace this part, or replace the second radiator that was damaged due to this, or refund my money. They have gone down in my esteem and I’m due to change the car and am looking elsewhere, and at different manufacturers. I was disgusted at the treatment i received.

Citroen Xsara Picasso 2006

I have had three Picasso’s. Good cars, value for money. I had a problem with third- radiators - stones keep hitting and putting holes in it, this was not covered by warranty. At £350 a time this was expensive. Has anybody else had similar problems?

Citroen Xsara Picasso 2001

This car, well O-6O in 7 seconds, excellent for a family MPV; acres of space. The best in its class.

Citroen Xsara Picasso 2.0 Hdi 90 LX 5 dr

Having a far flung family and three children I wanted a car that was spacious and comfortable for long journeys as we make at least one a month. I've had my Picasso for just under a year now and I've found it to be a very reliable choice. The kids have plenty of space, which cuts down on arguements and the boot has plenty of space for everything we need to pack. Maybe not the most exciting drive but definitely does what I need it to and not too heavy on fuel. Thumbs up.
