Citroen Grand C4 Picasso vtr+ 2008

Although price is king, when looking at the ’budget’ end of the market, sometimes you get what you pay for. Having had a contract hire deal on a Peugeot 407 SW, I was looking for something more spacious and cheaper to run. The C4 GP is a delight. Easier to drive than the 407 ( the 407’s turning circle is abysmal), much, much better on fuel and for a 1.6 diesel packs as much punch as the 407 2 litre hdi. I have always had 2 litre plus engined cars so was a bit wary of getting the 1.6 Citroen, but it is really good, not boy racer stuff but perfectly respectable. With it averaging 43 around town and 45-ish on the motorway (not exactly sparing the horses), you could easily get 50 plus if you stick to 70, it is great on consumption. We haven’t used the 7 seats much but they work very easily. On the minus side, the plastic boot casing, backs of seats etc, is breakable, if you get the seat belt caught in it and try to put the seats back up (it would not have happened on my old BMW 525) but apart from that it is well worth the lease fee.

Citroen Grand C4 Picasso 1.6 hdi VTR+ 2008

I have had this car for over a year now and it has served me well, it has never let me down and is a pleasure to drive. The EGS gearbox took a little time to get used to but once you get the hang of it it works brilliantly. In full auto mode it never skips a beat and is silky smooth, (it can be a little jerky if you are a little heavy with your right foot ) but its not a sports saloon. My vehicle has now covered over 12000 miles we have travelled through France and Spain in it and it was very economical. I would not hesitate in recommending this vehicle to anyone.

Citroen Grand C4 Picasso 1.6 HDI EGS VTR+ 2008

No problems with our C4 GP, it is comfortable, very economical and above all spacious enough to get the grandchildren and all their luggage in when they come to stay. The EGS is great around town or in traffic and coupled with the variable rate steering it makes for a very relaxed and easy car to drive. I do wonder at some of the reviews I read about the C4GP before I bought one, why it is said to suffer from body roll when pushed hard on twisty road’s... it isn’t a sports coupe but a very capable seven seater that has performed perfectly for us so far.

Citroen Grand C4 Picasso 2.0 Diesel EGS + 2007

Having read lots of reviews on here I had to have my say - this car is brilliant. I have the EGS model and the gears smoothly change with no hassle. I have had this car just over a year and the only problem is the petrol cap has started to stick which apparently is a fault so I am awaiting instructions from Citroen. I have 2 children and the 7 seats help with trips with Grand parents etc. Without the 2 extra seats up its great for camping as we can fit everything in the boot.

Citroen Grand C4 Picasso Exclusive 2007

Firstly, This is an AUTOMATIC CAR not Semi Auto as some might think. According to the DVLA the car is an Auto - You need group A on your licence to drive it. I got my C4 in Aug 07. And it has been the worst car I have had, but only for two reasons. 1. The EGS gearbox is rubbish, and you need to make sure that you change gear correctly otherwise you run the risk of getting clutch slip, and also flywheel damage. I can some of the posts on here are on cars with less than 5000 miles, maybe these people can repost after they reach this mileage and see if anything has changed? My car has had a failed tailgate switch, great with a car with 2 dogs locked in the boot in 35c. Rear brakes replaced at 3000 miles due to binding noise and clonking in reverse. This was an upgraded set of pads made specifically for the Grand Picasso only, they were released in April 2008 and as long as your car was under a year old and covered less than 4000 miles Citroen will replace with the new compound pads for free. The clutch started to slip on my Picasso around 3400 miles. Last week the Fire Service came out to cool it down as it caught fire on the driveway because the clutch had burnt out. And this has also damaged the flywheel. This is the second identical failure of this car as I have also found one with the same issues that was replaced by Citroen for free in Canterbury. My car is now in a dealer having a new clutch, flywheel and actuators as well as loads more software updates. I have been told that this might happen again in 5 or 6000 miles. And you want to buy one? You have been warned. The EGS is no good, it is poor in damp conditions because the micro processor that runs it gets effected by cold and damp. So if you get shudder when you pull away, go to a dealer and ask them to check it over, chances are the clutch is slipping. Go for the full auto or stick with the manual for the best car you can buy in its class. Without the EGS this car is incredible, but it is seriously bad as the problems cause you too many headaches.

Citroen Grand C4 Picasso 2.0 HDI Exclusive EGS 2008

Owned it for 8 months & 5000 miles so far, despite what others have said nothing at all has gone wrong. EGS can be a little lurchy until you get used to it, and it still sometimes chooses the wrong ratio. But usually it’s brilliant and it gives much better MPG & lower emissions than standard automatics. So economy is pretty good for such a roomy car, 32-33 MPG around town 45 on motorway. Interior is an absolute pleasure to use, seats fold really easily, kids love all the features it feels unlike any other car which all seem boring in comparison.

Citroen Grand C4 Picasso 2007

One star is being generous. I bought this car one year ago and have had nothing but trouble. The list of faults are endless - for example - engine needed to be replaced after 6 months due to unfixable oil leak; all the rear light clusters replaced due to water ingress; front braking system replaced due to a loud clunking noise whilst applying the brake in reverse; petrol cap mechanism replaced as the cap wouldn’t open from inside the car; gearbox removed and new actuator fitted as EGS system failed; dealer fitted a towbar and used the wrong wiring kit and had to go back to dealer three times to be fixed. There are more faults in this car but I don’t want to completely put you off buying one.

Citroen Grand C4 Picasso 1.6HDi VTR+ egs 2008

Was concerned that the 1.6 engine would be lacking, but it is great. EGS gearbox is smooth when you get used to it, and easy to override even when in automatic mode. I travel a bit on the motorway so economy is 50mpg, coupled with the low tax bracket this is such an economic car. Best looking in its field (s-max comes close but way too expensive). No problems yet (only 2000 miles on clock).

You must be one of the lucky ones. My Citroen is only 1 month old and has received 3 down loads for the electronic gear shift and still to no avail and the sister car is the same. This is a common problem and Citroen are aware of such problems.

Citroen Grand C4 Picasso 2.0 vtr+ Diesel 2007

Had this car 11 months, never missed a beat. Gearbox bit strange at first but now no problem. Returns 42mpg overall. Loads of storage space and seats extremely versatile. Drives well with one or 7 in but does not like high winds. Now owned more than 60 Citroen’s and it has been a pleasure to drive. May go for the 5 seater next as I don’t need a 7 seater.

Having read several bad comments about the electronic gearbox on this car, I was quite concerned that I would be disappointed. How wrong can people be?-The gearbox is the smoothest thing since Guinness! I can only think that the bad comments have been left by people who can't drive! The car is already giving 45 mpg, with less than 1000 miles on it, so it's not yet even run in and is getting better all the time. As stated earlier, the gearbox is superb, even in auto mode, which can be over ridden at any time using the paddles and has not missed a beat. I've owned several "people carriers", from most main line manufacturers and this is definitely the best! My family love it and the standard features are nearly all "extras" on other cars (particularly, my previous favourite, the Zafira)-This knocks the Vauxhall into a cocked hat! Don't worry whether you'll like it,-If you can drive-You'll LOVE IT!

Put one as you can’t put 0 stars. Have owned a grand picasso diesel with automatic gear box for less than 48 hours, and already it’s in the garage. The parking break failing and ESP failing as well as service lights went on, car immobilized, one day sat at the dealer’s, had to take bus home as waranty only kicks in after so many hours, so had to go and get rent a car 25 km from home at night. Was enjoying it untill then, wish I had bought Volkwagen.......................... How can Citroen sell defective cars like so ??????????????????

Brilliant car. We have 2 kids and a Welsh border collie and have plenty of space for all three. Very good cabin layout and extremely comfortable. It also comes with Isofix, which is perfect for our 13 month old. Very economical to run and very easy to drive. Visibility is excellent and it handles like a much smaller car. My wife also feels confident driving this and she’s not a great lover of driving. Very quiet engine. All round excellent car.
