Citroën Xsara Picasso 2.0 HDi Exclusive 5d (2003/03) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Ignore the VAT back deals etc. Haggle hard and you can do far better at a main dealer.
Costs
£300 insurance and 45mpg. 12,500 mile service intervals.
-
On the road
Driving
Designed for moving people, not racing!
Performance
Not quick but ok given the size - I guess that's the trade off for 45mpg.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Only one small hitch with ECU quickly sorted by dealer, but didn't stop me driving the car.
Image
It's designed for function rather than form.
Comfort
Seats a little too soft compared to my previous Audi.

Security and Service
Security
No alarm, but who looks to steel a diesel MPV?

Could have been quicker with replacement ECU.
