We have a pair of twins, around one year old now. Bought the grand picasso for practical purposes.
The engine is adequate, and I love the gearbox (ex-selespeed user). My passengers love the panoramic windscreen and the moonroof. Everyone loves the space it offers.
Recently we went around shopping for a new car, and realizes the design of the 2nd row in the Grand Picasso is perfectly suited for us - totally flat so our domestic helper can sit in the middle of two baby seats. Could not find other cars or MPVs that has this feature which is so important for us.
This car just screams space - tonnes of it. Until our kids are older I don't think I can find a more suitable vehicle.
Downside. If only it has sliding doors. If only the IU isn't so far beyond reach. If only it has adaptive cruise control. If only it has rocket launchers to use against road hoggers.
What I like too: the agent. Yes, cycle and carriage.
They replace your faulty parts with no questions asked (I didn't even know they did that until I saw it on the bill - for free), and the lounge is such a nice place to be in. I'm not so picky about it (it's not like it's some exotic supercar anyway) so I've had enjoyable moments so far.

Love the aesthetics and features of this car
Citroen seem to have put a lot of thought into the little details, especially inside the car
It's a pity the gearbox takes getting used to
Test drove it twice and it was worse second time round..
Placed so much focus on trying to grasp the method of driving that attention is distracted from the road; which poses a danger to both driver and other road users
If you're a manual car driver, this car is perfect

OMG. Fall in love with this car at first sight! It is so sexy, stylish and elegant and has intelligence.
Seen & tested Stream, Wish, Odyssey, Zafira, carens, Freed, Smax, Touran, Santé Fe, Mazda 8, Grandis, estima, all are boring and typical.
Decided to buy this car.

My Test Drive Experience.. `
|
|
|
Test driven it last year while looking for a MPV for my family.
Exterior
Design and shape is overall good. I like big size vehicle. It's what a MPV should be sized; not small and crampy but still call itself an MPV.
Interior
Interior is quite impressive, but seriously, paddle shifts for a MPV?? Like the rear air con control for the passengers, the sun roof, and the retractable front panoramic windscreen. Its quite a view. It's got quite a comfortable leather seats for the front. To me, comfort and silence when driving is more important than any other factors. It provide a spacious and bright interior for my liking.
The drive
Seriously, I hated the drive. What the hell is a semi automatic?? I understand the technology, but dun really like it. It's so jerking during low gears. Changing of gears during low gear is so obvious that its embarrassing. I was told to lift off my foot during low gear change to lessen the jerking feel, but seriously, why do anyone who's used to driving full automatic wanna do that?? It's such a big compromise. But, when at cruising speed, it's quiet.. it's suspension and tires are well suited for local road usage.
Engine
I'm not a speed demon, so as long as its poweful enough for local road usage, it's ok.. Dun need a high performace engine.
Overall
Its a fine vehicle, except for the drive. if you dun mind, it's a good buy.
Den again, how reliable is the vehicle remains unknown, its still a euro car, many features or technical issues are not suited for local market. So, in the long run, dun know if it will have the same issue with many euro cars in the market.
