David Buxton, Norfolk

Bought C3 Picasso new March 2011 and to date have had no major problems.
The supplying dealer carried out the "passenger footwell brake" rrecall most effiently &
promptly.
Three minor irritating niggles _ 1. the bonnet release handle in-car ia an awful flimsy plastic thing 2. the under bonnet realease needs a contortionist to operate it.
3. the onboard computer occasionall develops a mind of it's own
and has to be virtually re-set.

It's a 1.6 manual diesel and the fuel consumption is exceptionaly good
