Good Points: good ground clearance even when loaded, space, large range from one tank, smooth motorway cruising.

Bad Points: smelly diesel, front brake wear fast, key fob wears quick and now no longer functioning, been quoted around £117 for one key!

General comments: The Citroen Xsara Picasso Exclusive 2.0 HDi has spacious load carrier does not lose performance even fully loaded great motorway cruiser (could do with cruise control) low diesel costs large range on one tank, generally reliable,

The Citroen Xsara Picasso Exclusive 2.0 HDi is a fantastic spacious family car. I find this car good on fuel, its really spacious and above all a must for anyone with a back problem i have driven most makes of car and find this one the very best in comfort. The seats are well designed to give maximum support and the car itself is a very smooth drive.

The Citroen Xsara Picasso Exclusive 2.0 HDi are possibly the best family cars on the market, the 2hdi engine is great, avoid the 1.6 d (underpowered). More extras than you can shake a stick at, a genuine good value family car. Great Value, excellent comfort.

All in all an absolutely brilliant motor! Buy one! So reliable. So comfortable. Cheap to service (avoid Citroen dealers.... bit of a ripoff) Well built. Great paint job. Bags of space. the 2.0 HDI Diesel goes like a bullet! Great MPG. Had a Renault Scenic diesel before this......absolutely no comparison. My Scenic 'died' at 106,000 miles after a full service history!

Roomy, Airy, Comfortable. Handles in a safe manner.Plenty of storage room under floor Etc. A very pleasant car to drive and being a diesel also fairly cheap to run. Easy access with the higher floor and almost no sill to climb over. Good for us oldies Plenty of room for luggage.

My Citroen Xsara Picasso was a not to expensive and we like the drive of the car we did have the gear box cease up but it was under warranty. I feel like I want to buy another one next year but my son always complains of feeling sick in the back of the car he feels better in the front but when I have a full car the passengers in the back feel travel sick, they did not in my old Ford car any tips on solving this problem.

Bought New, loses too much value resale value but seconhand values reasonable providing with service history may be a good bargain as a family MPV. -May be cheaper to service in France.

I am very happy with my car. I intend to run it till it falls apart! Its not just a car. It's so versatile. Mine was used to move us twice, lock stock and barrel!

After-service is deplorable, costs beats most dealers hands down. The stories they come out with should be recorded.

I have two Picassos that I run as taxis, one has done 258,000 miles the other 175,000 miles. Both clutches lasted for 160,000 miles, gear box 220,000 and neither has had any work done to the engines. Fantastic reliable cars. I'm about to buy a third.

For the price this is a must try. Not everyone will like it but 8 out of 10 owners will be more than happy.

The Picasso has met our needs for a family car that is comfortable, economical and above all reliable. This is our second Picasso in six years and between them we have driven not only in the UK but also to Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark and Sweden and all without a single fault. The only replacement parts we have had to fit have been tyres, brake pads and discs and the occasional bulb in a total of 90,000 miles. Can't fault that! Excellent vehicle. I only hope the new Grand ...

The Citroen Xsara Picasso Exclusive 2.0 HDi is a great all rounder for space and comfort. Great for journeys all a family without feeling penned in. We have looked around many MPV but nothing comes close to value for money as the Picasso does.

I was prepared to overlook the poor handling and performance for the space and economy, but the mechanical reliability was completely unacceptable. I would be wealthier today if I had simply scrapped it on the day the warranty expired. Overall verdict after 3.5 years of ownership: I wouldn't have another if they were giving them away.

A very good, sensible buy even for the double chevron - the most popular car in Europe so there are plenty around. The cheapest car in its class so why not buy one? 50 mpg, insurance group 7, it has a cd player, climate control, alloy wheels and a full set of electric windows, mirrors and roof.

Overall I think that the piccaso is a very good car. Its economical, comfortable and very versatile. Like all modern vehicles the piccaso if it goes wrong can be expensive to repair but possibly not as much as many others. My own Piccaso has now done over 127,000 miles and has had very little replaced apart from what I would term as service items. It is still running like new and I expect many more years service from it.
