I laughed out loud more than once and that takes a lot these days 😂
No laughing matter with that drop on the left. Get a 4x4 and learn how to drive it in this terrain.
Anyone here own one???🤔
perfekt Review nice u should counie
I paid about fifty pounds for green /light green roof 1964 FB estate. Apart from manual gear box I had itfor many years, it was great :D
Haha great humour mate.. good review
One of the best reviews I’ve watched on this car mate and I’ve watched every one I can find.
I know it's years since you made this, but do you have any final thoughts? I am thinking of upgrading from my 2011 Passat 2.0 TDI Bluemotion Tech etc. etc. to this, mainly just because having the extra seats "could come in handy".
Bought a 2017 Feel last year. Had a Citroen back in the 1970's. Dreadful car so a bit apprehensive about my purchase. What can I say. Nice looking car, big and spacious inside, easy to drive, economical. Zero issues except the central dashboard is not as simple to use as it should be. Looked at the more expensive VW Touran, Ford S-Max, Toyota Verso, Kia Carens and a few others. So glad I went for the Grand C4 Picasso.
Wow this is incredible. Don't suppose you have a first issue of Fast car??? I collect first edition of UK car magazines and that one is missing from my set. Thanks Matt
Hi Matt - thank you very much. No, no issues of Fast Car at all, unfortunately.
Wouldn't have been laughing if it went down the side of the road, typical top gear rubbish, SORRY.
Beautiful car…shame to rev the guts out of it just for fun….driver has no idea how to drive a rear wheel drive car in the snow!
Perfect 👌
I’ve never seen a convertible version before
Great review. But how is the car holding up after 5 years. Is it worth to buy a used?
130.000 kilometers on mine now, 1.4 diesel engine. Lovely little car if you ask me. No brake downs or anything, just normal maintenance.
@@lillexus5589 still getting on ok? I'm looking at the 2015 1.6 with 90k on clock.. How's the reliability?
@@justsomedude1488 25k kilometers further; only standard maintenance and a new clutch since the current one started to show sings of slipping. Handy tip; don't lose your (keyless entry and start/stop) key when on holiday with the family. Mine dropped out of my pocket somewhere (still no idea where), not worth the 400 euros for a new one + a day of waiting and upset children/wife ;)
@@lillexus5589 christ.. that's impressive, what's your real world mpg around the doors mate? No dpf issues?
@@lillexus5589 what year is iy also
hahahaha! i think you should be a comedian. very nice presentation, i think top gear should better ask you some advices from time to time. you are very good
2 oct 2019 3:28 pm edt:thanks
when will UK journalists stop complaining about the fuse box in the glove box? YOU ARE DRIVING ON THE WRONG SIDE!!!
No, you are driving on the wrong side ;)
Well guess what WE DONT CARE we can import perfect Japanese cars with out the need of conversion or what not also who doesn’t like Aussies they drive on the left side of the road as well
I genuinely enjoyed this video... forgot I was watching a car review
42mpg is a bit low isn't it? My 2014 galaxy 2.0 tdci dct does the same and it's hell a lot heavier than the picasso.
What are the noise levels like inside the cabin, and how stable is it on long motorway drives.......
Its looks like a woman's car.
You look like a woman.
@@blackwetdog thanks :*
You'll never get near one then, so why are you complaining?
The way he looks at the camera reminds me of Oliver Hardy. A nice change from run-of-the-mill road tests.
Tested a Touran but interior is smaller than the Picasso.
Nice review Keith, what a nice easy, relaxed style you've got, particularly like the added humorous bits. Well done m8.
But why does it have the VX 4/90 side trims? Not an option when new, but maybe a previous owner added them. Instead of painting the roof colour in those strips, I'd have inserted some wood-grain vinyl --- after all, it is an estate!
1964 B reg in A1 condition. WOW.
Hi, I noticed that your car have full leather seats, but most cars I found on Autotrader have the bottom part of the seats cloth and only the sides leather? Isn't the bottom part is where all the biscuits crumbs would go? The full leather ones seems rear 😕
It probably is quite rare - a fairly expensive option for full leather.
thank you for the reply, and apologies for the typo. I meant rare 😉
+Hamid Altubly also can you confirm, the touch screen is not really touch screen, you ought to press on options rather than light touching it. is that the case?
+Hamid Altubly it varies. Sometimes the lightest of touches worked, other times it needed more of a prod.
PSA uses resistive touch and not capacitive, its like those old nokia phones, its more used in cars because is not affected by gloves, it just works every time you press it...
Awesome victor estate FML licence plate suited the situation :D
This guy really deserves more subs because the production of this vid is better than most larger reviewers with 500k+ subs and he also has the right mix of humour and facts without being boring AND THE VID IS IN HD!
This guy should be presenting TOP GEAR
Ha! I appreciate the sarcasm, Saint Etinne 😉
Not sarcasm - genuinely impressed
+Saint Etinne Then I humbly doff my cap - thank you.
I love the dry humor regarding the kids. 😂
ignor mihaels comments go and have a test drive i have been drivng cars for56 years this is the best car i have ever owned
+william clarke I have the older version Grand C4 Picasso he 1.6 hdi.I average 48mpg.Very comfortable car to drive and I also have a spare wheel fitted.Iwould like the newer model this year but not sure about the fancy stuff on the dashboard.Also lack of storage space in the front wants altering please Citroen.
Thank you for honest review. LCD is nightmare. This should be banned for safety resons. It's in improper position, hand cover numbers when dialing temperature, process to "animate" through numbers is slow and LCD is responsive like early sat-nav devices years ago. Real milage is 50% worse thasn claimed (52% in your test). And that thin leather they sell by the price of gold. While massage seats is great on paper, the leg rest jams legs to the dasboard. Last but not least: the 150 version have no spare wheel and so praised sunroof have NO insulated shade but only thin curtain; so car is giant greenhouse.
I agree on the safety issue. I wonder why they still didn't give the car a head-up display in the new facelift version. So many cars that have one don't really need it because it's just a few cm above the regular display but this is finally a car that could really, REALLY need one. They could have taken the display from the Peugeot 5008.
