Scenic v Picasso (Diesel) - Mike Curtis
Scenic or Picasso Diesel

I am trying to decide which of these to buy. Have test-driven both but in petrol version only.

The Scenic seemed more solid and better-finished.

The Picasso was roomier in the boot and back seats/legroom. But my children found the rear seats hard and uncomfortable. Has anyone out there haed a Picasso for some time? Do the rear seats soften up with use?

Any other problems with either car? And average mpg to date.

Has anyone bought from Tins on the internet? Experiences? They seem to be offering the best prices at the moment.

Any help greatly appreciated

I have sx picasso hdi back seats are individally reclinable and are very comfortable the car is excellent i have no complaints it averages 45-50mpg mostly on short 1 or 2 mile journeys, previous petrol 1.6 hatchbacks struggled to do 28mpg over same. The car is alot wider inside than the scenic we looked at a scenic and it was more money with less equipment and the headlights are excellent also but go for the sx as it is worth the small extra charge.
