What does it cost?
For The Citroen C3 Picasso has a roomy interior and a big boot. Most versions have a comfortable ride and the cheaper versions represent good value for money.
Against The Picasso isn’t exactly sharp to drive and doesn’t have as much rear legroom as a Ford B-Max. You have to pay extra for stability control on the cheaper versions, too.
What Car? says
The Citroen C3 Picasso combines decent practicality with catwalk style, and a cosseting ride with secure handling. Running costs are affordable, too.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
There are four engines and three trims to choose from. The 1.4 petrol is worth considering if you do most of your driving around town, but it feels a bit weedy on faster roads. The 1.6 petrol offers useful extra muscle, while both diesels are strong but pricey.
We'd avoid the entry VT trim. It comes with electric front windows and a CD player, but doesn’t get air-con or stability control. Our favourite VTR+ models adds side and curtain 'bags, along with air-conditioning, alloys and cruise control. Exclusive models are stuffed with goodies like automatic lights and wipers, dual-zone climate control, rear parking sensors and powered rear windows, but these versions are a bit pricey.

Not a bad bet, but if you can stretch to it, we'd recommend going for the 1.6 petrol version. The extra performance will make your life a little easier.
