Citroen Xsara Picasso 1.6i SX Review

Good Points
Storage is superb and seat adjustment/removal quick and easy. Good cruiser if a little noisy at speed. All-round visibility is excellent.

Bad Points
Seat arrangements are not as flexible as other mpvs however who ever uses more than a couple of combinations?

General Comments
I actually bought the Citroen Xsara Picasso 1.8 SX in the belief there would be a good deal more power than the 1.6, however the performance enhancement is frankly negligible and buyers would do well to stick with the 1.6. To use an mpv cliche` it really did suprise in the storage stakes particularly with the seats flat, and the rear passengers reported excellent legroom. The folddown trays on the back of the seats are break proof and are easily slotted back into position. The downside is there relatively flimsy construction...on the whole a good buy and the savings outweigh any drawbacks in flexibilty.
