Decent practical family car. Very roomy in the back. Good load capacity. Drives and rides well. Best with 1.6 HDi engine.
Fussy styling. No automatic gearbox. Avoid £200 'Black' pack with 17-inch alloy wheels which spoil ride and handling. Avoid repeated short runs from cold with diesel versions.

Introduction:
Prepare yourself for a rave review. This is an astonishingly good car.
I was already aware of its practicality, from flipping the seats and photographing the interior at last year's Paris Motor Show.
What I wasn't prepared for was the way it drives.
You sit in a slightly van-like position with the space around you accentuated by the bay window effect of the front screen.
Citroen calls its C3 Picasso a "spacebox", but that title alone does not do it justice.
It's also very comfortable, rides extraordinarily well, handles brilliantly, goes well enough, sits in a sensible tax bracket and is enjoyable to drive.
Something to suit everyone. In a single car.
