2004 Citroen Picasso Pack review from France
"Extremely reliable tin can"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The radio appears to be haunted. It turns itself on, makes whining noises, etc.
The tires have to be properly inflated or the car won't run well.
The windshield developed a crack, and the garage (Carglass) installed three different windshields because the replacement windshields were flawed. The current windshield has a long scratch that came with it.
General comments?
It's an ugly car, but I like it. It is very reliable and comfortable. It doesn't feel solid, though, and the interior and exterior panels don't fit together properly. There are lots of annoying ticking noises from parts tapping together. All the plastic parts are thin and flimsy. Generally, it feels like a tin can full of plastic pieces. I'm not expecting it to age well.
