Jacfm Neutral Newbie June 26, 2011 Share June 26, 2011 Hi all, Had been thinking about upgrading current colt to 7 seater... Just saw the Citroen C4 picasso as Marina Sq while shopping.. Pricing at $131988. Few concerns.. Any feedback on the car or other recommendations. Preference is for conti cars cos sales persons says Euro $ dropped and Yen has increased... Not sure if its true. Is it wise to upgrade??? He also mentioned that the 1.6 'Turbo' engine is comparable with 2.4 cc... Dont want to get conned or appear tutu.... need views.... Thanks ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcw75 Hypersonic June 26, 2011 Share June 26, 2011 Is this car purely for driving in Singapore only? If so, can consider the NV200 + 6, which sits 8 passengers. Abt $90K. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Has been driving my C4GP for the fast 6 month, already clock 15k. Everything is gd, FC is between 11-12km/ltr, tried 190km/hr running at 4k rpm only at NSHW and climbing up to cameron highland is effortless. The ONLY setback for this car is the EGS gearbox. Little jerky during low gear change, but using manual can minimise the jerky effect . Last, " prince engine" 1.6 twin turbo is a gem... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karu 6th Gear June 27, 2011 Share June 27, 2011 C4GP is a nice car... But as with all compact mpv. Last row will have limited leg room. Only good for short distance. Alternative is VW Touran... Drove mine up north recently. It was able to keep up with most of the > 2L cars on the right lane... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally24 Neutral Newbie June 29, 2011 Share June 29, 2011 what about a volvo xc90? really a true 7 seater Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ender Hypersonic June 29, 2011 Share June 29, 2011 Is this car purely for driving in Singapore only? If so, can consider the NV200 + 6, which sits 8 passengers. Abt $90K. interesting. I was considering whether to get one van while keeping my passenger sedan. Now this NV200 +6 may be my answer for a Van + passenger purpose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTRAC Neutral Newbie June 29, 2011 Share June 29, 2011 (edited) Grand Picasso, 1. One of the more spacious compact MPV in its class. 2. Interior nice with many compartment for storage. 3. Exterior - average looking. 4. Most important is the semi auto gearbox. Very jerky at low gear. Alot of people might not like it. You need to test drive to determine.

Aeromania 1st Gear June 29, 2011 Share June 29, 2011 Try out the Subaru Exiga. I used to think Subaru cars are very uncomfortable until one day went to test drive with my friend and i decided to sit on the third row and find it very spacious and lots of head room and can even enjoy the aircon even at the back. BTW i'm over 1.80m and when i mean spacious at the third row I'm pretty sure it's gotta be true. Never thought I'd recommend a subaru car but after taking a ride in the Exiga. it really gave me a pleasant surprise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddie 3rd Gear June 29, 2011 Share June 29, 2011 But the Exiga is super ugly, both inside and outside. No doubt the space is not bad but cannot live with the styling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt the space is not bad but cannot live with the styling yah it takes some time to live with the look. But spare parts are easy to find and cheap too. and highly mod-able. Imagine an ugly 7 seater out drags a 2 seaters sports car lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verve 1st Gear June 29, 2011 Share June 29, 2011 its easier for people to give you opinions based on what u are looking for in a mpv space ? comfort? performance? reliability? Resale value? Style? driving experience? just my 2 cents worth citroen mpvs u have to be careful of resale value and cost of parts, french notorious for not so good electronics, hopefully they have improved but 130k is a damn good price considering the coe price now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycanthrope 4th Gear July 3, 2011 Share July 3, 2011 dilemma now ... either C4GP or touran .... how is car servicing in VW compare to to Citroen ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nullifi3d 4th Gear July 3, 2011 Share July 3, 2011 dilemma now ... either C4GP or touran .... how is car servicing in VW compare to to Citroen ? Citroen provides a little (this is subjective) more personalized service during your servicing, VAG has to deal with mass consumers, backlogs. Price wise, not far off between each other. Visit the dedicated forums to get more feedback. Expect biasness though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
