2001 Citroen C5 HDI review from UK and Ireland
"Very Stylish and comfortable, but suspension too sophisticated"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The suspension is faulty. The front of the car goes up and down continuously after it has been switched off and locked. I had it back to the garage 3 times already and the fault persists. When I tell them the fault they don't seem to understand the problem and certainly don't know how to fix it.
The information display is faulty since I got it. The temperature and M.P.G data shown are crazy numbers and I'm slow to let them pull out the display in case they upset any other assemblies behind the dash.
General comments?
The car is very comfortable and handles very well on the open road.
The boot is gigantic and is great for traveling on holiday or carrying bulky loads.
The suspension is a bit too sophisticated and will inevitably cause more problems when the car gets older.
