    Comfortable and quiet.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Hopefully ok. Immoboliser standard across range. Alarm on SX upwards. Radio is linked to engine management, so no code rquired.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    On my 4th Citroen. Tend to use independant dealers when cars out of warranty. C5 comes with 3 year warranty, so 3 years going to main dealer.
