Citroen C4 Picasso Reviews - Page 2 of 4

I've only had this car for two weeks, and I might be up for some surprises, reading the overall reviews of this car. But this car has done 55000 km now, latest service at 43000 km, and no major problems. When I got it, just a parking light bulb was broken, and some tyre wear.

Everything else works perfect... for now.

I'm no race driver, and I'm never gonna be in this vehicle. The automatic clutch gearbox has to take the blame. It' s a little bit to slow. Works better with manual shift paddles. Otherwise, the engine is smooth and silent. Compare to my previous Prius, this ain't much noisier, and the Prius was relatively quiet most of the time. No asthmatic seizures at high revs either.

Comfort and space is the key in every aspect of this vehicle. You feel like a toy riding a cat in slow motion.

No voice controlled GPS or backing up cam like in my previous Prius, but the mirrors adjust automatically when you put it in reverse, and it's easier to get what you want by pushing a button, than argue with a robotic voice for ten minutes.

Citroen have decided to scrap my car 18 months after I bought it.

They claim it was flood damaged, it isn't.

The car is a good family car with lots of room for kids and the associated assorted baggage.

However the manufacturer treats its customers with utter contempt.

Dare I say it, no hassles related to build etc. Of any major level anyhow..

The boot/trunk opening handle can be a bit temperamental from time to time.

Plenty of room for a car of this class size. The boot has plenty of room, so a family of 5 can travel in comfort. Once the pop up rear seats come into play, you've no storage in the boot really though. We've a 750 litre Thule roof box, which comes into play then, so happy out!

The ride is quite firm on the road, Irish secondary roads aren't exactly renowned for their smooth straight surfaces... (;> Overall the car feels solid on the road, and I've no complaints.

The car is leaking in the cabin, left edge of the driver`s seat got wrecked, although I weigh 72kg.

It leaked 8 times, twice from the roof above the driver's seat, 3 times in luggage space, twice on roof, right side rear passenger seat, and once the front passenger floor had a 5cm deep water puddle. Now it's at the mechanics for another leaking problem.

The car has a 1.8 petrol engine, handles great, very comfy.

To change the front left bulbs is pain in the neck.
