There are a couple of things you notice when you first get into a Picasso. First, the 'instruments' - speedo, fuel and temp gauges etc. These are mounted at the top of the dash in the centre. It is an entirley digital affair, and the speedo is very clear for all passengers to see. This is a major disadvantage if you have the mother-in-law in the back! Secondly, the gearstick - this is located 'on the dashboard, below the radio and heating controls. Sounds quirky, but both are really effective and easy to get used to.
In the rear, the Picasso has three 'proper' seats, all with three-point belts. Because the gearstick is located on the dash, Citroen have been able to dispense with the transmission tunnel which means the floor of the cabin is completely flat. That means that if you sit in the middle of the three rear seats, you don't have to awkwardly straddle the transmission tunnel running down the centre.
The rear seats themselves fold forward or remove completely. Very easy to do, and
