My wife drives a 2002 Citroen Xsara Picasso, bought as 1 owner, fsh, 35,000m and the vehicle has been professionally serviced ever since. The seating material pulls against your clothes like Velcro and now after an additional 20,000m the action of body weight constantly pulling against the seat seems to have loosened the seat mounting bolts! The power steering pump leaked from it's union and dumped oil straight into the alternator, this is not an uncommon problem apparently - this cost me £450.00 to put right last year. The dashboard electrics are faulty, this again is not an uncommon but costs so much to rectify I am not bothering. The fuel gauge is extremely unreliable. Even after having the software updated the vehicle still stalls constantly in the cold, the heater is awful, it is hard to park because of the body shape/visibility and it depreciates like a stone. I am happy to say that this vehicle is about to be part exchanged as it is without doubt one of the most generally unreliable and thoroughly unpleasant cars it has been my misfortune to own.
