The CITROEN C5 (2008-16) 4DR SALOON 1.6 HDI DPF 115 EU5 VTR+ is a roomy, four-door family saloon, sitting between mainstream family cars and more executive-feeling models in the UK used market. Its elegant, distinctive shape offers a calmer alternative to the familiar Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Insignia and Volkswagen Passat. The 1.6-litre diesel is well suited to regular commuting, motorway journeys and family trips, with useful space for passengers and luggage. It should appeal to drivers wanting a comfortable, understated long-distance car rather than a small city runabout, while its VTR+ trim gives the C5 a well-equipped feel. Against rivals, comfort and distinctive French styling are key talking points. mycarcheck.com has recorded nine checks covering six distinct VINs, so these figures offer a snapshot, not a large survey.
