Citroën Xsara Picasso (2000 - 2010) 2.0 HDi SX 5d (2002/02) Owner Review

That I'm either a pensioner or a school-run mum.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They are surprised it's still going given the mileage.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, it's been very reliable and handy with the space and it's not that sluggish either.

What are you likely to buy next?

Maybe a higher spec end of line Xsara Picasso with lower mileage and more kit.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£2,100

When did you buy the car?

May 2008

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes because it was high mileage.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Wanted a family car for the kids.

What was the dealer like?

Very good.

What's it like to drive?

Better than a van, but leans a lot in the corners. Everything feels a bit heavy but thats more to do with the high mileage more than anything.

What's it like to park?

I don't have a problem with it. Visibility is good and the power steering is light enough.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Well it's had a new clutch and a few bits and pieces, but it has done over 180,000 miles.

What's most practical about your car?

The folding seats are great and if you remove them you practically end up with a van.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The trip computer is very useful.
