Xara Picasso
Hi, as some of you know from previous mails I have a slight mobility problem as does her indoors and I think a car that I get into or up and into would be better that my Xantia which we get down and into/up and out of. Would you guys have any comments or advice to make about the Picasso? I aim to buy an HDi if available.

A family member had a Picasso as a motability car and found it the best so far to get in and out of .
You can virtually slide in and out because of the height and fairly large doors - a Focus C-max is similar but the gap is larger between door and seat (for some strange reason) so not as handy.
She found the only drawback with the Picasso was the reflection onto top of dash through large swept back windscreen,which can be a distraction on a sunny day.Mind you most mpvs are the same now.
The HDI is excellent for power and economy(Unfortunately my relative couldn`t afford it so stuck with 1.6 LX which returned over 40mpg)
