If the C3 is large enough for your needs then get that - it drives really nicely compared to the more ponderous C4. The C3's ride is outstanding a very pleasent car to drive for its type - but not in a sporty way - so don't expect hot hatch handling.

PS the above is quite surprising because as cars the C4 is nicer to drive than the C3 - the MPV versions are the opposite!

I've had a diesel C3 Picasso for 38000 miles. The only failure has been a wheel bearing,otherwise faultless. Averaging 53 mpg. Very roomy and comfortable. Mine has the 16valve engine without the dreaded DPF. For most purposes I would think the C3 has enough space. I think the C3 is excellent value and would certainly have another, though as my annual mileage is less than 10,000 I would probably choose the 1.6 petrol
