Indicators would not work (intermittent fault) but this was a known fault that was immediately fixed by dealership under warranty.
Superbly comfortable.
The hydraulic suspension is a must if you have disabled/elderly passengers. Simply lift the car to let them in or out. They don't have to struggle to get down into the car.
Despite many reviews saying that the interior is cheap and tacky, I have found the car to be of an extremely high quality.
The interior is remarkably quiet. Unfortunately, this does mean that you have to batten everything down. Something loose in the glove box or in the door pouches will drive you to distraction. The car is so quiet you can hear a sweet tapping against a door!
Likewise, I had to put an old towel inside the spare wheel to stop hearing the jack 'knocking' when you went over a bump. A lot of reviews saying that the rear suspension is knocking, I think is actually wrong. Once I put the towel on top of the jack the knocking stopped. The car is it's own worst enemy - it is so quiet and refined that any noise is noticed.
I am now having to replace my 2 front tyres - 20000 miles isn't bad for a large car like this.
I am a very happy owner of Citroen C5 2.0HDiAutomatic, I bought my car in January 2002 and it has been excellent choice. I think that the quality of interior or outside is very high and sophisticated! Inside decorating with wooden-like panels makes the car even more luxurious.
My C5 has now over 50 000 km behind and nothing, but outside temperature sensor has been broken.
Comfortable and silence, that is the main thing about this car. Last, but not least: C5 is even warm in wintertime. In my country winters are really winters!
