2001 Citroen C5 SX review from UK and Ireland
"The C5 is a great disappointment because it reveals its potential and, but fails to deliver"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
External Temperature Sensor.
Antipollution fault.
ESP / ASR Fault.
Airbag Fault.
Overspeed Control Fault.
Dashboard momentarily 'died'
General comments?
This car has a first class engine, but the supporting electronics do not do it justice.
This could be a great car.
There does not appear to be a wealth of expertise available to resolve the persistent electrical faults.
When running well the car is responsive, extremely comfortable and a joy to drive.
When the (intermittent) ESP / ASR fault occurs, the performance and power is the car is removed.
