Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6 VTi - now this is something
By Mihai Jepan
Here is a tricky one : why do some hate french cars ? Renault, Citroen, Peugeot make nice cars, great designs and most of them have good engines. Their only big problem is the auto parts costs, which is very high ( this is one of the reasons french dont go do auto service too much, they prefer buying another car ), but else, the french models are quite nice.
One model that is indeed special is the new Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6 VTi - you can check out the looks of this car and I am sure I do not have to say anything about the engine. A small car with such a powerful engine is like a miniatural beast, you wont even know when it bites you. Many have rated the engine of the Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6 VTi with a 7, on a scale from one to ten, but I would have went one grade higher, up to an eight.
Fuel consumption is not that great though, but you cannot make an agresive car with low fuel consumption, unless youre japaneese. Here is where I would grade the car with a five. Now well move on to the interior, which I would like to describe it in just one word : fantastic! Ten out of ten, if youll ask me and that is really great for a french car that uses a lot of plastic when designing the inside.
Quality price report is allright. Its not expensive for what it has to offer. The starting price for a Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6 VTi is 11.990 euro with VAT included, which is not that much comparable with, lets say, an Opel Meriva. The only serious competition regarding this report would be the Ford Fusion, but some would not choose the second one because of the dull design.
