What does it cost?
For This is the top-of-the-range model, so it comes with toys aplenty (automatic lights and wipers, dual-zone climate control, rear parking sensors) and a strong, smooth diesel engine.
Against No C3 Picasso is cheap, so it's no surprise that the range-topper costs an eye-watering amount of money. You'll have to do lots of miles to justify spending the extra on a diesel.
What Car? says
It may have a cracking diesel engine and be stuffed with toys, but it's too expensive. Save yourself some cash and go for the 1.6 petrol in VTR+ trim.
