2004 Citroen C5 Exclusive review from South Africa
"Biggest piece of expensive junk I ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Day one - Ignition coil failed.
Water bottle sensor stopped working.
Reverse sensor stopped working.
Fan control module failed.
Ignition coil 2 failed.
Tire sensors faulty; they keep on reporting "wheels deflating" while it's in perfect order.
General comments?
I expected more from an Exclusive model; the electronic systems are of poor quality and design. Running cost is extremely high and parts are priced ridiculously high.
Internal build quality is also very poor.
