2003 Citroen Picasso Desire review from UK and Ireland
"A great family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Mainly electronic:
New display unit required at,10000 miles;
New wiper stalk required at 15000 miles;
New module needed at 9000 miles
Computer often in mid cycle upon start up. Not solved.
Cassette often switches back to radio for no reason.
Engine cuts out as it slows down (15000 miles)
General comments?
The car handles well and delivers a wallow free ride
Economy is good, lower to mid 40 mpg on a journey.
We use it for towing - it is one of the best tow cars we have ever owned
Tons of storage, essential for a family of 5!
