Citroën Xsara Picasso 1.6i SX 5d (2001/Y) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Appears better value than the Zafia & Scenic, especially as a used buy.
Costs
Computer will always suggest 37.7mpg, but I'd say 35-36 is closer to the mark. Drive it hard with a full load and you're talking just over the 30 mark.

Driving
Not exactly sporty, but then again I didn't buy a sportscar!
Performance
It's not a sportscar. Has enough go for everyday family life, needs to be pushed hard for overtaking.

Living with it
Reliability
Only had the car for 5 months, but half the display has been replaced due to reduced brightness. Had a few problems starting on occasions, starter motor doesn't seem to want to engage (garage are unable to find a fault).
Image
Think it's okay at the minute, it's a Mini family MPV.
Comfort
So far no complaints, seats have enough support, let's hope they stay that way.

Security and Service
Security
It should have an alarm.
Service
Displayed changed no problem. Unable to find fault with starter motor. After covering just 5k miles the front pads and discs need replacing, didn't have the opportunity to experince Citroen's service as they blammed my heavy braking (were they checked?).
