Any pistonheads own a Citroen Picasso?

Because I've yet to seen one that hasn't done a Picasso on itself and removed it’s left ‘ear view mirror.

Any other good contenders for 'definitely not owned by someone who has the slightest interest in cars?'

Any major weak points on these? I'm semi tempted to buy one for the missus as a general runabout and tip car.

I'm interested in cars but she couldn't care less and I think a cheap MPV for her and the kids would be more cost effective than spending alot more on something that is only going to get abused anyway.

Thoughts?

Perfect car for the missus that doesn't care about cars. Apparently Citroen make twice as many body panels as they do cars to account for the missus factor.

Wouldn't that be the Citroen Van Gogh?

dooh! Early 20th century impressionist painters are not really my thing.

To the Citroen Van Gogh (aka Picasso, Xsara etc) I'd like to add the Vauxhall Zafira as a good contender for car most likely to be driven by 'woman with no manners, no clue and several horrible kids'. No offence intended if you are a Vauxhall Zafira driver, it's just that I've yet to see one not driven by said person.

So if I can be so bold as to summarise:

Some people genuinely dislike the one eared wonder that is the Citroen Picasso
Some people pretend they like it, but only because they have one

and one person owns one but also has a TVR - how does that work?? do you have a sticker on the back of the picasso that says, 'my other car's a TVR'

why do the french build such awful consumer goods? The only decent cars they've ever built were the Renault 5 turbo (mid engined version) and the Venturi thing.
