2005 Citroen C5 review from Belgium
"I think a Lada is better"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Worst car you can find.
Brake disks faild at 3.000 km
Watherpump changed at 50.000 km
Head gasket blown at 60.000 km
engine changed at 80.000 km
Gearbox broke at 100.000 km
Service at 120.000 km : 1.700 €
clima gone at 122.000 km.
Paid 25.000 € for the new car 3.5 years ago. I was tired of it and asked the garage to buy it back. I was offerd 5.500 €
Total bills paid in 3.5 years and 125.000 km for service : + 8000 € (tires not included)
My second car is a Porsche Boxter. Its cheaper to run!!!
General comments?
DON'T BUY A CITROEN.
Poor quality - high invoices - no resell value at all.
