Comfort and quality

Comfort and quality
In the past, small Citroen's have made do with low-rent interiors, but the C3 Picasso's looks classy. You get metallic highlights around the air vents and appealing mock-Bakelite heater controls. Meanwhile, the dashboard is nicely textured, even if the plastics themselves are hard.

The fact that the cabin is light and airy adds to its appeal, and forward vision is exceptional thanks to a wraparound windscreen with skinny pillars.

Drivers of all shapes and sizes should be able to get comfortable because there's plenty of seat and steering wheel adjustment. It's just a pity that the wheel obscures part of the well-ordered centre console.
