2001 Citroen C5 review from Australia and New Zealand
"The c5 offers much without great cost"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing except the speedo head failed that cost $1400 to replace.
General comments?
The c5 is a real luxury car with room, armchair seats and a soft ride however it can still handle unlike the stiff suspension and hard seats the germans have convinced everyone they need.
The hdi does 50 mpg and still offers good in gear performance.
Citroen reliability has prooven superior to our previous e230 benz.
