2004 Citroen Picasso review from Malaysia

Rear Tail Gate handle broke with only a small force applied while closing the tail gate. The plastic looks cheap. Others are having the same case.

Dealer is applying for Warranty Claim.

First acquired with 373 km already. It must be the travelling for the dealer to bring the car to my town. Not many Malaysian prefers French cars. Mostly goes for Malaysian, Korean and Japanese car.

The car has a great power with comfortable ride. Fun while overtaking, climbing hills and accelerating.

Hard Cornering feels a bit risky, but what to compare with my Mitsubishi Galant... MPV vs CAR.

Suspension is good, but not excellent. I am expecting more fun riding through pot holes from a Citroen's. I was not even impressed during test drive, but my wife and I decided to buy it for it's safety features.

Tiptronic transmission technology from Porsche feels great.

Interior feels roomy and spacious. A lot of useful compartments.

Safety is terrific. Equipped with (ESP) Electronics Stability Programme, ABS, Driver's and Side Passenger's Airbag with both having Side Airbag. Three-Point seat belt for all three rear passengers.

Braking is fun with the newly developed ABS Technology. Not using the widely used ABS.

Comes with a 3-year warranty / or 100,000 km - which ever comes first.

Comes with a single CD Player. Have no idea whether it could be upgraded to CD Changers or DVD Changers. Dealer said to leave it be as the electrical wiring is "somewhat" different from Japanese's car. No idea whether it is true.

RARE Speciality - No RPM meter! Could only guess during running in.

BUT of all it's speciality, I personnally am not confident with all the electronics gadgets to last after the warranty expires.

Possibilities of electronics failures or problems - ESP, ABS, CD Player, Airbags, Automatic Lighting, Automatic Wiping, Auto-locking, Engine's ECU, Tiptronic Transmission, Sensors (Fuel Gauge, Engine Temperature, Battery Charging)...so far that I could think of.
