2003 Citroen C5 LX 2.0 litre petrol
Summary:
Amazing!
Faults:
Had 2 new electronic valves put into the gearbox.
Replaced catalytic convertor (hole).
Otherwise absolutely nothing else! Amazing reliability.
General Comments:
This car is seriously under-rated. The service costs are extremely low! The comfort is incredible. Long distance travelling in South Africa and in the "bundu-bashing" in our game reserves is an absolute joy.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Just returned from a 1,200 km trip to the Drakensberg Mountains in Kwa Zulu/Natal, and my Citroen performed wonderfully without any problems, and gave me 8 litres per 100 kms travelling at 120 kph on some of the worst roads I have ever encountered! Did a 5,000 km trip to Cape Town and back in December, as well.
Have covered over 100,000 kms and still perfect, no handles falling off or anything else, too. Greatest car I have ever owned in over 58 years in Africa and Canada!
Unfortunately Peugeot/Citroen's marketing departments are useless, and don't advertise or market their cars at all. Citroen have won the World Rally Championship nine (9) years in a row, and what do they say about that? Nothing!!! Ford and Mini have pulled out because they cannot beat Citroen!
