Who Citroën C3 Picasso 1.6 HDi suits in Warsaw
In Warsaw, the C3 Picasso is rented by young families from new estates in Wilanów, Ursus or Gocław who need a second car for a few weeks, and by people moving between districts. Small businesses such as florists and caterers also book it when they are short of a car for deliveries for a while.
In the city the C3 Picasso takes up little space, and the high driving position makes manoeuvring easier in tight car parks by blocks of flats and shopping centres. The 1.6 HDi diesel copes well with constant stopping and starting, and it uses little fuel when driven calmly. The five-speed manual gearbox is simple and needs no getting used to.
For a trip out of Warsaw it is a good choice for four people with luggage, for example to the Świętokrzyskie Mountains or to Warmia. With 109 hp the car holds its pace comfortably on the S7 expressway in either direction, although with a full load it is worth planning overtakes with room to spare. The mileage allowance adds up across the whole rental, so a longer drive is not a problem.
Things worth knowing about the Citroën C3 Picasso 1.6 HDi
- The C3 Picasso was unveiled at the 2008 Paris Motor Show and built in Trnava, Slovakia.

Citroën C3 Picasso 1.6 HDi or Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi?

The Citroën C3 Picasso has a clearly bigger boot (385 l), a rear bench that slides 15 cm and a very large windscreen with slim pillars that gives excellent visibility.

Citroën C3 Picasso 1.6 HDi or Mazda 5 1.8 MZR?
Two MPVs of different sizes. The C3 Picasso has five seats, a diesel and a 385 l boot, and it is short, so it is easy to park outside a block of flats. The Mazda 5 has seven seats, sliding rear doors on both sides and a 1.8 petrol, with a 426 l boot when five seats are in use. For four or five people and economical driving the Citroën is enough; for six or seven, choose the Mazda.

Citroën C3 Picasso 1.6 HDi or Ford Focus?

The C3 Picasso is taller, you sit as in a small van, and the sliding bench lets you enlarge the boot when nobody rides in the back. The Ford Focus is lower, more composed at higher speeds and better on the expressway. For town, a house move and children in car seats choose the C3 Picasso; for the open road, the Focus.

The C3 Picasso is taller, has a sliding bench and a bigger boot, while the Peugeot 308 is a conventional compact, lower and calmer at higher speeds.

Citroën C3 Picasso 1.6 HDi or Renault Espace 2.0 dCi?

The Espace has a stronger diesel and six gears, but it is long (4.66 m) and hard to park in the centre. The C3 Picasso fits almost anywhere and uses less fuel when driven gently. For five people around town choose the Citroën; for a long trip with lots of luggage, or for six or seven people, the Espace.
