Citroën C5 Saloon (08 on) - Review Review by Dan Harrison on 21 April 2008 Last Updated: 27 November 2008 This handsome C5 is a vast improvement on the last car to wear the badge. It's far more sophisticated with a high quality interior, a sharper exterior design and much better build quality. Another change is that this car is a saloon, whereas the old car was a hatchback. It means that it has a more upmarket image, though at the price of practicality. Although this is an all new car, it still carries over some of the old C5's core strengths: excellent diesel engines, good levels of equipment and excellent comfort. Crucially, it's now good enough to be a realistic alternative to models like the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Insignia. 4 out of 5 Other Citroën reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 3.5 out of 5 Buying new Depreciation can be minimised by opting for one of the higher-spec models, such as the VTR+. They're likely to hold onto a larger proportion of their value, as buyers look for well equipped cars on the used market. Buyers who have previously bought a C5 may find that the incentives and discounts on offer aren't as generous as before - the 'premium feel' of the C5 means it won't be sold as a bargain basement car. But it remains good value with generous levels of equipment and competitive list prices.

Citroen supplies a lot of fleets, which should mean plenty of well-equipped diesel models on the market. Only the top-spec Exclusive gets interior 'mood lighting' and front electric seats - though these are added luxuries rather than essentials.

However, as long as it's well equipped and sensibly-priced, there should be no problem finding a buyer. Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
