Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6HDI 90hp VTR+
Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6HDI 90hp VTR+
What is it?
Perhaps the ultimate car for our times. The dinky C3 Picasso is Citroen’s take on the downsized MPV, being about as long as a Fiesta but with more space than a Focus. Wide range of petrol and diesel engines.
What’s hot?
- The fact that it’s amazingly practical and good-looking too…
- …with a distinctive cube shape, chunky arches and smart lights
- Rear bench slides back and forth so there’s loads of legroom
- All the seats fold flat, and the boot has a twin-height floor
- Cabin design is smart and modern
- Well-equipped with all models getting air-con
- Comfortable ride and excellent high-speed refinement
- CO2 emissions of just 115g/km and 64.2mpg
What’s not?
- Not exactly fast, even in 90hp 1.6 HDI diesel form…
- …with 0-60mph in 10.8 seconds
- Awful PSA five-speed manual box as notchy as ever
- Below eye level, cabin quality is patchy
- Not much fun to drive either with vague steering
- Top spec Exclusive model costs over £15,500
