2005 Citroen Picasso hdi review from UK and Ireland
"This has been the worst car I have ever bought"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine management system repeatedly failed.
Door trim caused injury due to sharp edges.
Seat foam started to collapse.
Loud metallic creaking caused by incomplete body finishing.
General comments?
The Picasso handles very badly.
The brakes are weak.
The build quality is the worst that I have ever experienced.
It will take large loads.
