Your cheap car videos are addictive, never stop. I want to see you run this over with a tank though Matt.

Just to provide some balance to the comments I had 3 of these during my 16 years in France - with no reliability issues. Very practical - I`m a surveyor could get my 3 surveying ladder inside and also going on holiday had 2 bikes in the back plus luggage. Regular trips back & forth to UK - comfortable after a 10 hour drive to the Tunnel and 48MPG. I used a local garage for regular servicing (French version of Ed China who was a wizard with all makes & models) and always bought second hand from Citroen dealerships with extended guarantees - which I never needed to use.

I laughed so hard watching this episode. Matt exhausted his whole vocabulary of negatives on this one oh my word 😅😅😅

We had a 09 Grand Picasso, to be honest we had no issues it was reliable, the engine was quite economical and lots of space but that one there hasn't been looked after, so I'm not surprised it being in that sort of state

[howie]

"I can't imagine Pablo Picasso signing off on this design can you?" 😂 PMSL

[MCTogs]

The whole time I thought myself "surely it can't be that bad" but by the time he got to driving it I realized with abject horror that it is, in fact, that bad. Astounding that this thing passed an MOT in that condition frankly.

I pray that Matt one day has a pub conversation that starts, "Hey, I'm a car guy myself! Sometimes, when I get bored of the Picasso, the wife lets me cut loose in her Juke!" Love this video! Made my day!

[gilesrdavies]

Please take the C4 Picasso on a road trip to Spain, like you did with the Fiat Panda…
You might then fall in love with it! 🤣

This should be fun. Wife had a brand new one, all the spec, full leather. Kept it for 8 months and lost a pile trading it in. Biggest problem was we lived at the top of a hill and the C4 could only get to our house with a run up.

[midinotes]

This has to be the funniest video I've watched in ages. Matt, you had me in absolute stitches! When I thought it couldn't get any better, it's the Picasso that keeps giving. It was worth every penny for the entertainment value, brilliant. 😂

[notroll]

When it briefly stranded you at the entrance of the car park, I half expected you to run out of the picture and come back with a ripped out tree to give the car a "damn good thrashing".
But then, I'm a late boomer and a Fawlty Towers fan.

I just got a regular 2011 c4 vtr. And so far I think it's brilliant. It has a normal gearbox and proper handbrake. Despite the small diesel engine it's punchy and sips fuel the same way my t total mother in-law sips her annual thimble. The handling is way above average. Lotss more fun and in better condition than the 10k 2012 v6 Audi a6 I nearly bought which was comfy worn and quite but very dull. Better condition than the 2012 seat Ibiza, 2013 golf both rusty and hammered, and 2014 astra which handled ok and good pulling power but very wooly gearbox and a smashed in bumper and keys like they had been through a dog. All around 6k. So my 2k c4 seems like a bargain with 12months MOT. I've had it up to 6points territory on b roads. It handles so well that you dont need the brakes. It's booked in for service and I'll splash out on some good tyres and I'll update if it blows up.

Matt, I need to send you a T-Shirt with "You know what? This isn't actually that bad." on it 🤣🤣🤣

[peterwainwright]

Matt, one of the funniest car videos ever particularly with the constant warning bleep sounds. For a split second a few years ago I considered 😊buying one of these from the local Citroen dealer. It was very low mileage with service history and I went to ask for the keys. I thought it strange when the salesman said I will meet you outside. He walked with me so we were away from the main building and told me to “walk away as these cars are garbage”and “they are only traded when they start to fall apart and the auto box is terrible”. I thanked him for his honesty, he didn’t even try to sell me anything else and went back indoors!
No, I never did buy one thankfully instead bought a petrol Toyota which has been faultless.

The original picasso was brill, i had a 1.6 hdi, you could remove the seats, and it was so comfatable, it was a 2007 reg.

[oliverhilton]

I actually have a soft spot for these, we had a grand c4 that ran through the family. Nothing really beat it for family roadtrips with all that cabin space, and the copious amounts of glass made it really bright on sunny days. I just love how quirky and weird they are.

Not to say it didn't have faults though. The gearbox did have plenty of issues, the electric windows failed multiple times leading us to tape them up, and the drivers sun visor (on the hinge side) kept falling off and twatting the driver in the face. The visors are completely made of plastic too so they're really heavy and properly attack you when they fall

You know Matt’s impressed when he takes a seat in the back 😂

love all the scenarios you come up with to explain how things got broken ‘ah yes a kid must’ve stuck his foot straight through that’ haha top!

[ajkgordon]

I have two French cars. A Peugeot 208 1.0 vti and a Partner 1.6 HDi - same engine as in this Picasso. They’re both very simple and so far very reliable. The Partner has just gone past 410, 000km. I’ve had it since new in 2006 and it’s been well maintained. But the electronics are simple, everything is manual and, because it’s based on a van, everything is robust. The 208 is more flimsy but again it’s simple and just works.

Hi Matt love the channel, but what I find even more refreshing is the way you treat your mum ( new cars ) and flippantly mention your cleaning her car and filling it up for her
Absolute quality Matt

I had the 7 seater version of this car in excellent condition. It was a complicated car and even the Citreon fellas sometimes can't tell what was wrong with it. The car was written off in an accident but the amount of money thrown at the car was eye watering. I bought the newer version C4GP MK2 - 2016 after the accident. The maintainence cost for Citreon is almost the same as my 5 series GT. However, I still love this French car. Better you scrap this car. It is too expensive to fix.
