2004 Citroen C5 X review from Croatia
"Comfortable ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Loose vacuum pipe, resulting in the turbo not activating.
6-7 light bulbs over a period of one and a half years.
Front passenger window sometimes won't come up using one-touch mode, it goes to the halfway point and then re-opens, you have to close it 1 cm by 1 cm.
Turbo sometimes fails to kick in, not a good thing while overtaking up-hills. I have to wait until 3000rpm for the turbo to start working.
Squeaking brakes.
Poor servo assistance while driving at low speeds.
General comments?
Big, spacious on the inside, comfortable seats.
Big boot, practical because of its 5-door design.
Very quiet and smooth ride, great suspension although not good in curves, but great in a straight line.
Love all the sensors (rain sensor, light sensor) and toys.
