Summary

A big, spacious hatchback and estate, often with keen discounts available.

Styling

The C5 looked dated when it first came out and the intervening years have been less than kind to it.

Handling

Grip levels are reasonable and the hydraulic suspension does a good job at resisting roll in corners, but the dynamic experience is marred by over-light steering.

Comfort

The ride quality is decent and the big, comfortable seats help to while away longer journeys - but refinement is relatively poor at motorway speeds.

Quality

Cheesy-feeling materials give the cabin an unwanted retro vibe. Reliability is less than brilliant, too.

Performance

Petrol engines are best avoided - punchy turbo diesels are the sole bright spot in the range.

Roominess

The cabin is big for four full-sized occupants and luggage space is reasonable in the hatchback - while the estate is enormous.

Costs

Diesels have decent fuel economy and maintenance costs should be well contained, but the massive deprecation makes the C5 a very expensive medium-term companion.

Value

As with all Citroens, the official list price bears little relation to the sizeable discounts that dealers are more than happy to hand out, but even with the big savings on offer its hard to make much of a case for it.

Stereo

Audio system sounds distinctly average. Satnav system is old-fashioned and hard to operate.
