“You can have any colour you want, so long as it's black.” Of course, times have-


®


' changed considerably since old Henry saw his first Model T motor car roll off the pro­ duction line and now car buyers really can have almost any colour they want. If Glass's Guide is to be believed, however, they probably should not. Apparently, the colour that you pick out


of the brochure to cover your shiny new car can have a huge impact on the vehicle's value when you come to sell it. The premium of £500 that a buyer pays


for a good metallic colour could be worth £1,000 over a less popular metallic shade or £2,000 over a standard matte finish when they come to sell the car on. This gulf is even wider with sports and convert-’ ible models and can be as much as £4,000. Silver is the most popular colour at pres­


ent, but you will not go far wrong with blue, black or grey either. Red was once a sure fire certainty to feature in the top colour choices, but not any more. It is a definite no-nb, along with green, gold and brown - garish shades like yellow, purple and fluorescent orange can also be difficult toshift.


authorities. Clocked doing 50 m.p.h. in a 30 m.p.h. zone, he told the police that he was only driving fast to dry his car after he had washed it. AUSTRALIAN man, Jason Somerville took things to extremes

during a bad-tempered break-up with his wife. He took her claim to half of every­ thing he owned literally and sliced the family car in two with a blowtorch.

AS if you needed reminding, it was Henry Ford who once said (or said something similar to) the immortal words;

ig h t and space - that is what Citroen says it is ped­ alling where its C4 Picasso


is concerned. Don’t panic though. Customers


who sign on the dotted line will still receive over a tonne and a half of metal, glass, plastic and fabric. It is just that Citroen is relying on


less tangible elements to give its com-. pact MPV the edge in the market­ place. From a marque with a longstand­


ing tradition of doing things different­ ly, the C4 Picasso is definitely differ­ ent, and if airy fairy concepts like ambient illumination and panoramic glasswork do not do it for you, there is a solid range of good, honest oil-burn­ ing engines to provide some balance. Citroen is offering a pair of famil­


EXCUSES for speeding offences come in many guises but a driver in Cooperville,' Kansas, had a new one for the


iar HDi diesel engines, familiar because both have seen service in var­ ious other models carrying the double Chevron badge._^ First up is the 110 b.h.p. l;6-litre


option, capable of spiriting the C4 Picasso’s considerable bulk to 62 m.p.h. in 12.7 seconds - or 13.4 sec­ onds \vith the EGS robotised gearbox fitted. The 138 b.h.p. 2.0-litre diesel is only offered with EGS transmission and takes 12.5 seconds to reach 60 m.p.h. Both diesels feel stronger than the


petrol engines under urban driving conditions and most C4 Picasso buy­


ers will opt for one or the other of them because of this and their superi­ or fuel economy. You can expect something in the region or 48 m.p.g. from the 1'.6 manual, 50 m.p.g. from the 1.6 EGS and 46 m.p.g. from the 2.0-litre EGS. The diesels are offered across a range of trim levels that spans LX, SX, VTR+ and Exclusive. The C4 Picasso is extremely


refined on the road, but the diesel engines do betray their presence by sending more vibrations through the cabin at idle than their petrol coun­ terparts. The suspension soaks up the bumps in a.very composed manner and performs well enough through corners. You have heard of outer space, but

its inner space where MPVs must stand or fall and the C4 Picasso cer­ tainly feels big. This is partly due to all that glass. You are never quite sure where the inside ends and the outside begins, but the sheer quantity of room inside the cabin is no illusion.' There are seven seats in all models and, unusually in this class of vehicle, there is even room for a little bit of luggage when the third row is in use. At just over six feet tall, I managed


to cram myself into one of the back row seats without too much difficul­ ty, aided by the clever way the out­ side seats in the middle row fold up like cinema seating and slide forward with the tug of a handle for easier access.


I would not want to stay cooped up


in the back for long though. It is far better to leave these berths for the kids or fold them under the floor to take advantage of 672-litre capacity that’s then created. Fold all of the seats down - a feat which can be per­ formed in an impressive 20 seconds by a well-drilled PR man - and there is a massive 1,951 litres to play with. Striking design and attention to


detail ensure that the C4 Picasso is a vehicle that people can form an emo­ tional attachment to, just like the best Citroens of the past. Pick out a model with an HDi


engine and the EGS gearbox and you will have a frugal and functional new member of the family.
