Living with it
Reliability
Had a Xantia before. If built as well, can't see any problems.
Image
Different to look at. Does attract looks while people figure out what it is.
Comfort
Comfortable and quiet.

Security and Service
Security
Hopefully ok. Immoboliser standard across range. Alarm on SX upwards. Radio is linked to engine management, so no code rquired.
Service
On my 4th Citroen. Tend to use independant dealers when cars out of warranty. C5 comes with 3 year warranty, so 3 years going to main dealer.
