I want to buy a 2010-2013 MPV...
I'm thinking about buying a 7 seater car between 2010 and 2013 and i see a load of different types at the school. Citroen grand Picasso seems very popular at the school but are the second hand ones any good and which to choose. 2ltr or 1.6ltr. Or can you recommend a different choise 7 seater. I have heard bad things about the French cars. I want a car for a few years and then I'm going for the Skoda kodiaq. I'm a big Skoda fan. Thanks
Our answer:
Hi John,
Yes, the Picasso is a good choice — big, roomy and comfortable and with decent reliability as long as you buy one with a full service history. VW’s Touran and the Toyota Verso might be slightly better bets for a trouble-free life, though, as would be a Kia Carens, which is a really nice and somewhat underrated car.
