Good-looking; well-equipped; option of conventional steel-spring suspension; improved handling; serene driving feel and quiet ride.
A relatively conservative and unadventurous Citroen; residual values may still be poor; poor reliability record of last C5.
One of the more appealing large saloons around - as long as the company is paying.
Servicing requirements are low, with visits needed no more than annually or every 10,000 miles and, with an eye to the fleet market and insurance costs, Citroen has made the C5 cheap to repair after an accident.
The diesel engines - which are the ones Citroen boasts about - are economical, too, with 149g/km emitted on average by the 1.6 HDI and 157g/km by the 2.0 HDI manual, which both bear an 'Airdream' eco-label.
