Citroen C5 (2008 - 2016)
1.9 HDi +Nav Tourer
Very nice but perhaps flawed
Third review of this car...it has continued to perform well, still returns 47mpg overall (air-con always on) and 50+ on a long run. Quiet, smooth, effortless - a lovely car, really.
BUT...
I am growing tired of its lifeless steering and general ocean-liner handling, I'm afraid, and hankering again after something that goes where you point it and tells you how its feeling.
AND...
as has happened to quite a few of the revieweres on here, the car bit me in the wallet a few months ago with a busted window regulator in the drivers door, 300+ quid and no help from Citroen despiite this apparently being a common fault. Pretty annoyed, the thing is only just 4 years old, it's the sort of daft fault you'd expect maybe on a 10-year-old car.
So now thinking this is a warning sign and that I should bail out. Lovely car while it lasted. Who knows, perhaps it will go on now and never go wrong again. Who knows...
