For The massive space and the flexible, user-friendly seating makes the Grand C4 Picasso the most practical family-ferry you can buy. Interior quality is good and forward vision is excellent
Against Sloppy body control and remote steering means the Picasso isn't great to drive, and the unconventional dash layout isn't the clearest
What Car? says
Well priced and equipped seven-seat MPV with excellent diesel engines is only let down by the poor ride quality. Third row seats are really only for kids, but there's still some boot space with these seats in use.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
There's a lot to like about the Citroen Grand C4 Picasso. From its bang-up-to-date looks and well-thought-out cabin design to fine diesel engines and seven seats that can all be slid back and forth to vary kneeroom, the Grand Picasso is a good bet for families who need plenty of space and versatility.
The third row of seats is restricted to children due to a shortage of legroom, but the boot behind can still cope with a couple of Saturday morning kit bags.
The 1.6- and 2.0-litre engines are reasonable for economy, but the diesel engines make more sense and will be much easier to sell on in the used market. The diesels also provide much prompter mid-rev response, although the manual gearbox has a notchy, vague shift. The automatic gearbox has a jerky action as it moves between gears, so is best avoided.
