Here we go again.... REVIEW Citroen C4 Picasso- Exclusive



So i have been here before...



*I do not own this vehicle, this is on a lease service for 12 months*


As you may or may not be aware, i am currently cooking baby boy number 3, and with that the car (my Seat Ibiza FR) needed to go pretty darn quick. We had a look at many different options out there, which included the Skoda Octavia, Hyundai Tucson, a Ford Mondeo Estate and this, the Citroen C4 Picasso.

I have been incredibly lucky in the past (and not so) lucky with my car choices, and had been able to have access to a brand new C4 Exclusive +. That car was seriously incredible! 

Although this time around we have the spec down, which is the Exclusive, it still packs alot of kit, and most importantly it can carry 3 children plus their carseats. Which was the main winner ultimately.

Anyway, this car like i said needed to be able to be easy to drive and get about in, take 3 children and a dog, plus a pram and bags comfortably and easily. 


The model we have is the 120 Blue HDi 120 S&S 6 speed manual, which packs a punch, and is certainly not slow. Which sadly most 'people carriers or mum vans' are. 







This specification comes with front and rear parking sensors, built in satellite navigation, touch screen and led display, key less start and stop button and 17'' Anaconda alloy wheels. Boot is very generous too, at a whopping 537 litres expanding to 630 litres with all the back seats folding down, completely flat!





*excuse the junk in the trunk*


If you wanted to upgrade to the Exclusive + , then that comes with the above plus park assist (which is amazing i have to say), panoramic roof with closing blind, key less entry, integrated air freshener, tinted windows and blinds on the rear windows too. 

Prices for the C4 Picasso start from £18,950 OTR and the Grand Picasso £20,650 OTR 


In a years time, we will have to hand this back to the dealer, and choose what car we could have next. 


Bye for now C xx

Hyundai i20 Coupe Review




So yesterday my Ibiza had to go back into the garage to be looked at regarding its electronics and audio.

So, therefor i had to have a loan car for a few days.

I was happily given the new Hyundai i20 Coupe!

I tell you, i was more than happy with it, - you could say, i like it alot more than my Seat.... so much so i do not want to hand this car back tomorrow night. Ooops.









Loving the rust colour too, and the accents throughout the cars interior.

My sons are extremely happy with mummy's 'new' car, and have also asked if we can keep it. The man approves to!

So will be a little sad to see this car go back, but that's life i guess...

Until next time.

Love my Mii


Hey lovelies

So last week my car had to go back into the garage to be looked at regarding the electrics.... fun, and this time round the loaned me a Seat Mii I- Tech.

I thought i would give a mini review on it!







  • First impressions

I was actually very excited when they told me i had one of these for the day, so compact, yet huge inside. My sister had the Skoda Citigo, which to be honest, at the time i wasn't all that into... 

They gave me I- Tech which is priced from £10,155 otr. Paint is an option too, of which i was surprised at, as white usually is a base colour. 



  • Interior 
The inside was very spacious. Considering this is a very tiny vehicle, the amount of space you have is fantastic. Even in the back, there is enough space to seat 2 tall adults (it is a 4- seater not a 5), and the head and leg room is good. 

There is an added Sat Nav which is what i have in my Ibiza, which seems to be as standard. 

Also a snug boot, but to be honest with you, having a car this small you expect a boot that size. 





All in all a very good car, i would actually happily swop with my Ibiza....

Nice work Seat!

Until next time ta xx
