The 1.6-litre VTi C3 Picasso offers more performance than the diesels most will choose. Steve Walker takes a look.

Ten Second Review
Performance isn't usually top priority for supermini MPV buyers, so the 1.6-litre VTi petrol engine is unlikely to be the strongest seller in the C3 Picasso range. To be fair, it's not particularly fast anyway, but its lack of prominence in the range is mainly down to the fact that you can buy a comparable but more frugal diesel version of this car for not a lot more. Still, if you must have a petrol-engined C3 Picasso, this unit is well up to the job of powering an impressively designed package.

Based on the vtr plus this model is nowhere near "base" but some things which should now be standard are still absent. e.g. cubby holes and folding mirrors. That being said "highly satisfied" is an un...

Hunt down a good discount on the list price, and you get a lot of goodies for the money on the Exclusive model. I have only done 2000 miles so far, (having migrated from a Xsara Picasso) but have yet ...
