SO16_Saint Posted 18 May, 2013 Share Posted 18 May, 2013 I'm in the process of changing cars as I will soon need a double buggy, and our current car will no way accommodate it. We've seen a 55 plate Citroen Xsara Picasso (or however you spell it) for £2699. It's done 88k miles. We will get £3500px for ours. Thoughts on this car? Anyone got/ha one? Any other recommendations for a family type MPV for around £3.5k? Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SO16_Saint Posted 18 May, 2013 Author Share Posted 18 May, 2013 Another option is an 04 plate Focus C Max. 95000 miles and £3000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowds Posted 19 May, 2013 Share Posted 19 May, 2013 I'd go for the ford over the Picasso all day long what are the engine choices? The 1.6tdci ford is a nice little engine!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seen a Picasso exclusive 05 plate for £2995 with 95000 miles(diesel) also. The boot of the Ford doesn't fit the Bugaboo Donkey that the Mrs wants so that's out...

stu0x Posted 19 May, 2013 Share Posted 19 May, 2013 Don't bother with an old C-Max, they're rubbish, arguably less usable space than a Focus. We almost got a C4 Grand Picasso, liked it a lot and good value. Other obvious options are S-Max, Mazda 5... might need to stretch the budget a little though. If you're stuck with that budget, you could do worse than a Zafira. Why the Donkey, incidentally? Theyre not very good... do you already have a Chameleon?

I bought it when I had the same needs as you. Didn't like the Picasso's, seemed to sway like a tall building too much Edited 19 May, 2013 by buctootim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mrs wants a donkey because it allows you to have 2 different and kids, side by side. She's not a fan of one on top of the other styles.
