2001 Citroen C5 Exclusive review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent, high spec undervalued motor way cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much.
In two and half years of ownership two doors wouldn't open with the remote key and required new motors.
Very occasionally the volume control on the radio has jammed at full volume - fixed by switching off and back on.
There has been a rattle from the boot area since I got it.
The doors feel flimsy after the last car (Galant)
General comments?
I love this car. It is superbly equipped with colour sat nav, 6 speed CD plus a dash mounted single CD, digital climate control, traffic master, rain sensor wipers, light sensing automated head and side lights, cruise control etc, etc.
The 2.0 litre Hpi petrol engine is superb on motorways. Excellent torque in mid range. The comfort level is also excellent with dial in sports mode and height adjustable suspension. The car gives around 30 m.p.g. with mixed driving
My only problem is it's time for the car to go... I have never had the same model twice, but this one is a serious temptation.
