Advantages: Very comfy to drive, huge windows

Disadvantages: Tables for back seats are flimsy

I cannot comment on all bands of the Xsara Picasso but the Picasso deluxe that I use is a very nice car to drive and also a very comfortable car to be driven in. The car is quite large which may seem daunting however I find being that bit higher up off the road makes driving it a lot easier. Also contributing to its ease to drive is the vast amount of visibility provided by the large windows it has. This makes for much less stressful driving because you can see other cars around you.

The windows also making riding in this car a very nice experience. You get a good view of all your surroundings which at least offers scant consolation if you're stuck in a car on a long journey.

An interesting feature in the back of the picasso is that there are pull down tables on the backs of the two front seats. These are like the pull down tables on trains and planes, and whilst they are a good idea, they don't really work. You can't adjust the height of them and they are far too flimsy.

I think the best feature of the car is a 12V socket in the back of the car as well as at the front- this is great for something like a portable mp3 player.

In short, this car is pretty great as a family car which isn't too expensive. There are extra features that would be nice like ipod integration however you can't really expect this from a pretty standard (but very good) car.

Summary: A great car that is fantastic to drive or be driven in
