CITROEN C4 PICASSO

First generation with robotized gearbox was utterly awful. In road test I wrote that I'd rather be sterilized than making so much children that would make me having to drive a car like that regularly. Obviously, Citroen Croatia didn't like me much after that article... Actual one is... better. But still not a car that offers any driving pleasure. I didn't drive a manual but I doubt it's much better, as PSA generally has some of worst manual gearboxes on the market (although they are getting better lately).

Talking about it, I am a big classic Citroen fan and appreciate their current lineup for their values - but their people carriers are really among the most unrewarding cars to drive today.

On the other side, yes, it is compact and spacious at the same time and you can enjoy good company and, hopefully, some of better Scottish products. Just not 10% of driving satisfaction you can get from, say, Ford of same type.
