Very comfortable and reliable car
Had to change the speedometer stepper motor. Cheap, little item; fixed it myself in five minutes.
Apart from that, nothing has gone wrong; just done the regular maintenance and fixed things that will be needed on every car, such as brake pads.
Roomy and very comfortable car with a huge boot.
Very reliable.

Much value for money
My only problem with the car has been that the headlights (bulbs) are of very poor quality. I bought the car new at May 15th, 2001 and until now (May 2003) I have replaced the bulbs 9 - nine - times!
Of course, the dealer has replaced them and I have not paid anything, but after all, this is not acceptable, in my view.
The dealer points out that "all new cars are like this" - probably because electric variations from the electronic system destroy the bulbs.
But after all, this is the only problem I have experienced, and this C5 is my 7th Citroen in line since 1982!
I am very pleased with the car, and the hydro-pneumatic system make it a nice car to drive over long distances.
