2001 Citroen C5 Business review from Norway
"Much value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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!
General comments?
I am very pleased with the car, and the hydro-pneumatic system make it a nice car to drive over long distances.
