The C5 is a mid-range family car. The second-generation model is no longer produced in a hatchback body, only in a sedan and station wagon. The car continues the successful Citroen revived style launched by the C4 and C6 models. The new car reminds no one of its predecessor and really stands out from other market players, while maintaining a dynamic profile. The interior has a non-standard instrument panel with an interesting design. There are now two types of car suspension to choose from: Hydractive 3+, which provides optimum comfort and excellent road performance, and conventional, which ensures maximum road grip. In terms of safety, the new C5 ranks high, with the Citroen C5 receiving a maximum five-star rating for adult protection in the EuroNCAP safety test. A great new car that takes Citroen to a new level in a tough fight in the midsize car class.

Car description
That’s a pretty solid vehicle. I bought it from Citroen dealers with a 124.000 mileage, and no damage at all. The A/C radiator was leaking though. To my mind, you can expect this problem every 4.5 year. I have my sedan fully equipped with 18 inch wheel rims. The hydractive 3 plus suspension is simply unreal! Using the navigation system in the Western Europe won’t be problematic; however in the Eastern part it detects only the biggest cities with 2 large streets. Expect to experience a smooth ride, the automatic transmission works fine, fuel consumption in the city – 30 mpg; on the highway – 55 mpg; average – 40 mpg. It has a very comfortable driver’s seat, large mirrors, enough space for kids in the back. What is more, the sound isolation is marked on the glass by a special certificate - that satisfies me too. There’re 6 front and 4 rear park system sensors, so it’s impossible to overcome hitting the curbs. I was satisfied after changing A/C radiator and filling it up with refrigerant, but not for long. To my great disappointment, it was just the beginning of my expenditure on this vehicle: after a 160.000 mileage I had to change all brake disks and brake pads, a generator belt and a drive belt tensioner. After a 165.000 mileage I changed both rear link stabilizers. After a 170.000 mileage a car ventilation system stopped working. After a177.000 mileage oil had to be replaced for both front shock absorbers. Thanks God, I had no any other problems for a couple of months. What is more, there’s an automatic light sensor, so whenever the vehicle enters a tunnel or a garage low beams are turned on/off. Also, what I really like is that my car has folding mirrors which I find especially useful in narrow yards. A sim card is already installed in a car. If you are a tea or coffee lover you won’t get disappointed because there’s a cup holder. A very soft dashboard panel can be considered as a disadvantage though it doesn’t cause any unpleasant rattling sound. When I count my overall investments in this car I don’t think it was “painful” at all. Oil and all other filters were changed every 9.000 miles although the manufacturer suggests doing it every 12.000 miles. In general, I’m very satisfied about my car, in winter it gives enough comfort and warmth, if driving in a forest the suspension can be adjusted either up or down (lifted or lowered).
Performance
This is 2.0 HDI 16 V with 100 kW. There’s enough traction, the engine works quietly. This vehicle can be considered as quite economical.

Recommendations to buyers
It is worth checking if the hydraulic suspension works properly. If necessary, find a qualified mechanic near you and ask for help to identify problematic spots.
