Citroën C5 Saloon (2008 - 2018) 2.0 HDi 16V Exclusive 4d Auto (2008/58) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

It looks like the equivalent bmw 5 series or merc etc so it puts you in the same bracket as them.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

I went from a very quick sports estate to this! They cant make it out.

Would you buy this car again and why?

yes. Its a lot of car for the money.

What are you likely to buy next?

I had my last car for 8 1/2 years so who knows.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£12,500

When did you buy the car?

May 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

You never ever get a 'good deal' when you buy or sell a car! You always pay too much when you buy and get too little when you sell. Thats a fact of life when it comes to cars.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I wanted a diesel automatic.

What was the dealer like?

The Citroen head office is very new, bright and spaceous. The salesman was a real human being, a genuine person, not the usual robot with a script.

What's it like to drive?

Surprisingly brisk. Confortable, floaty suspension. Light steering. And very quiet for a diesel.

What's it like to park?

Not easy to see out thanks to big A and B pillars which gave it a 5 star ncap rating. Rear sensors are a big help. It is longer than a standard parking space so you could get a fine at a parking meter!

Have you had any problems with the car?

The air-con was not working on delivery.

What's most practical about your car?

It has four doors and a boot.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I had a tow bar fitted. A must have on any vehicle.
