Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Lovely car to drive. I used to own one ( a 1.6 HDI 110 turbo diesel). Seat comfort and ride quality is excellent, really smooth ride. The 1.6 VTI engine designed by BMW gives decent performance and the 6 speed EGS Automated manual box which is a manual gearbox with an automatic clutch and can be driven in auto or manual mode was really smooth. Even the 1st to 2nd gear change or the kickdown from 6th to 5th gear although not silky smooth is by no means horrible. If you are after a small MPV auto I highly recommend you try one out. Was really impressed and smoother then some traditional auto's.
What's it like to park?
No problems.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Test drive review but did own a C3 Picasso and never missed a beat.
What's most practical about your car?
The folding rear seats and the visability is excellent.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
I like the cruise control and the bluetooth.
