Its so wide- I attempted to put my Thule aero bars ontop- they don’t reach across 8) because its quite a wide car its also quite stable into bends/corners when you lean on the inside front wheel. Its also alot more comfier on long distances than say a Berlingo of similar vintage.
Its an ugly car, slightly quirky though which does help/rescue this part.
TBH OP there are soo many Xsara Picasso’s out there that you can chose one thats on less miles IMO easily for the same money and/or newer.
Mines on 67k – I’m going to keep it until I’ve spent money on a new bathroom and sorted out my fireplace and flooring. It’ll come in handy again for the many trips to the tip. When thats done I’ll get rid and buy a money pit to consume my money again.
On the ‘getting tired’ – surely all you need to do is refresh alround on the suspension droplink/bushes.
All cars feel tired with mileage and a refresh on bushes etc works wonders to make a car feel ‘toight’ again? True?
