2005 Citroen Picasso Desire review from UK and Ireland
"A waste of metal and plastic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front Brakes continuously squeaks.
Engines dips in power.
Front electric window makes a drilling sound.
Paint runs on bodywork.
General comments?
I decided to pay a little bit extra to get the extra economy and performance (110bhp).
To cut a long story short, the car has been back to the dealer more times than I've had it.
Eg. The car was booked in for the sixth time for the same (turbo) problem, it was also booked in for a brake problem. When I went to pick it up (they had the car for over 9 hours)
they said, that it needed a new part - I had just been waiting 4 weeks for the said part anyway. Then they said that they didn't have time to do the brake problem, however they did find time to wash and polish the car.
OK, that sounds more like a dealer problem than a car problem, but belive me the car creates new problems every week.
- Never again.
