The C4 Picasso is a bit of a dark horse. They can have electrickery issues if but if you get a good'un they are great cars. Probably the best midsize MPV.. I blame the Spaniards who put them together

The driving experience is woeful, the worst manual box I have experienced in a car for a few decades and a clunk with every shift, a rather awful and over complicated instrument/LCD screen plus a smaller screen for all the menu driven functions which responds like a grandma that's overdosed on sleeping tablets.

Throw in an average 2.0 diesel which is geared for economy/emissions so you have to keep shifting the crap gears and a soggy ride and the result is a right load of old crap!

The Gen 2 Picasso's (2013 on) actually drive nicely and the manual box shifts nice and slick. But the auto is of course the best option in this type of car.
The 1:st gen also drives decently but I have less experience with them.

You're not fussy on it, then?

The word association thread is further down the board.

I'd actively seek out a car with a soggy ride, given the state of some of the roads these days!

Well....I would buy another astra estate no matter who owns the company. In fact, I probably will buy a 1.4T within a year or so.

We're not all the same.

A French colleague I'd known for years retired a few years back. We were on a business trip together shortly before, and I asked him over a meal and a nice bottle or two of red what he might do with his retirement.

"Well, first I'm going to treat myself to a a large, very luxurious, but quick, car. Something I can fit all my fishing gear in, and which I won't tire of driving. Then I'm going to travel around France doing a spot of fishing here and there and just relax...."

Being a petrol head, I asked him what car he was interested in, wondering if he was thinking Bentley, or perhaps a little more modestly considering a Merc or BMW.. Maybe a Jag.

"Oh, that's easy. A Citroen C5"

It was all I could do to keep a straight face.

Im another kind of petrolhead apparently..
A C5 is a brilliant choice
I would buy a brand new one in a heartbeat if I had the money, but since I'm an engineering student I don't..
