Colin, What do you want it for ? My experience of French Cars has been very bad. the Nissan Almera Tino is a similar "lifestyle" vehicle, a lot better built - in Britain, and will not be such a common sight, its also a far more enjoyable drive from what I have read ( in a Spanish Magazine ) and the Fiat Multipla is an interesting alternative too.
But The Berlingo / Kangoo / Fiat Doblo brigade seem to offer more room for less $£$£$£$£ ....

The Fiat Multipla is a car Citroen should have built. If you can cope with the styling (I can) they make an interesting choice.

Blimey, wot heresy is this, recommending a FIAT?
|
The Fiat Multipla is the MOST ugly car I have ever clapped my eyes on, apart from the Chrysler PT Cruiser. I would not be seen without a paper bag on my head in both of these vehicles!
|
David,
Unusual but not really ugly?? Actually I like the Cruiser as well!
The Citroen DS has been voted one of the best looking cars ever and is also on an ugly car site. What do you make of that?
Darcy,
I was meaning Citroen should have gone with a brave design like the Multipla rather than the safety of the Picasso.

Having been blessed with 4 children, I need a 6 seater, but remembering back to having 3 kids abreast in the back of variously a CX an XM and a BX, there always seemed to be arguments about space; ie whose elbow was in whose tummy etc. Also, a drink spillage usually gets 2 people wet instead of 1. These kind of arguments have completely disappeared since transporting them in the individual seats of the Synergie.
The Multipla, the looks of which are not to my conservative (small "c") taste, seems to multiply the problem by having 2 sets of people abreast. The idea may be ground-breaking but I doubt its practicality.

In answer to Bobby's question, I've been very happy indeed for some 4 years with a 1.5 3dr Honda Civic. However its a very low slung car, and we now need something that's more upright i.e. higher seating so its easier to get in and
out (don't laugh, it happens to us all). Also 5dr, so I don't give myself a hernia installing grandkids in carseat. So its not really a question of lifestyle, more like practicality. HJ mentions Toyota Yaris Verso, but that does look a bit tooAll orthopaedic!
