reviewed by Carbuyer
In the face of criticism that its cars lacked quality, character and prestige, Citroen tried to give the current C5 plenty of all three. Few family saloons, are as comfortable, and the interior build quality is excellent. A 1.6 or 2.0 HDi diesel engine in VTR+ specification will offer the best mix of cheap running costs, punchy performance and lots of desirable equipment. On the downside, the boot is small, and this saloon is no match for the Ford Mondeo when it comes to the quality of the handling.
