General Comments

The Citroen Xsara Picasso has to be one of the finest cars I have bought. Superior in comfort to anything I've had in the past, like sitting at home in your armchair. Auto aircon is set and forget.
In gear acceleration good. Turbo response is good.
Returns 51+ mpg at decent road speeds and acceleration.
Seat removal is easy, presenting you with volumes of space. With one rear side seat removed, it is possible to sleep laid flat, diagonally across rear floor area.

    I totally agree with all the comments made. And speaking from experience Ihave achieved 56 mpg just like the manual say`s but have yet to try out the constant long run to get 61 mpg. one last point, the got recieved 4* in the eurocap tests as one of the worlds safest cars and is also the uk`s biggest selling mini mpv.
