my family own one of those, not the xsara picasso MPV version. Overall I would say quite reliable as no electronics or mechanical failure so far in 2.5/3 years of owning it. Just change oil and air filter. Build quality is superb for the price u pay. thumbup.gif, feels like a really solid car on the road.

Power, don't expect much from it. 90ps from a heavy car like that, not very good for spirited driving.

Make sure u get a good mech to inspect the car, as usual so that you don't get a lemon, alot of headache if u buy one with problems.

yeah I own the station wagon version... checking my car's service record, the only things I changed are air the air filter, engine oil filter and engine oil. Some wear and tear parts also(not necessary).

air filter - RM28
oil filter - RM24
engine oil - shell 5w-40 @ carrefour RM150

wear and tear parts(not inclusive labour):

brake pads (front) - RM175
timing belt - RM135/155(handwriting cannot read properly)
Timing belt bearing - RM70

The car suprisingly maintainence not that high... icon_rolleyes.gif


edit:

Fuel consumption im not sure as im not the one that drives it usually.

Xsara is kind of rare and it was priced at around ~91k when it first came out. But i think FC wise if you are looking at this, might not be a very good idea..and its quite an old car..rear passenger window still use hand to pusing despite having that price tag 10 years ago
