Citroen C5 (Old)

Overall Average Rating - 85.21%
Position in the Top 100 cars - 54th

Owners told us that the C5’s smooth ride and comfort levels are hard to beat.

But, as in previous years, the quirky Citroen fares badly in the driving dynamics categories.

A position of 97th in the handling charts, and 91st for ease of driving, suggest that the C5 is a handful, while 88th for reliability is a real concern.

Manufacturer Verdict (Position - 28th)

Another disappointing showing for Citroen. It still scores on value for money, finishing in 10th place for running costs. What lets the firm down, though, is the reliability and quality of its models.
