 Citroen C5 - Practicality 4/5
Citroen C5
Citroen C5
The overall costs of the C5 are low. Along with being an inexpensive car to purchase, you won’t pay much in insurance or gas, seeing as the petrol engine gets upwards of 39 miles per gallon. Though there is a downfall to the Citroen C5, it is likely to loose much of its resale value within the first five years.

The rear seats fold down to make a large space for hauling almost anything you need. Also located around the cabin is designed with an array of features that are geared toward buyers who are business oriented. These features include pockets and storage spaces, 12-volt plugs for charging mobile phones and lap-top computers, and a generous glove compartment.

The Citroen C5 gauges are large and easy to read. Aside from functionality, the instrument panel is very visually pleasing. Surrounding the two-tone buttons is a chrome-effect. The stereo is not as visually pleasing due to the cluttered feel. In an area less than that of a sheet of paper, is a set of nearly 65 buttons. The basic functions are duplicated on the steering wheel for driver convenience.

When entering the Citroen C5, the large, front floor space illuminates. Once you are in the vehicle, the seats are large and supportive but soft and comfortable. Aside form being spacious, the cabin has a quality feel to it. In the rear, three adults will fit in the bench seat, though it may be uncomfortable. Three children will fit and will have wiggle room. With large door apertures, and unrestricted access to the seats, entering the C5 is a pleasant experience. The seats do sit low though, which won’t make it uneasy, but this will make it more difficult for tall passengers to enter and exit.

Parking is generally easy with light, tight steering and a good frontal view. Although the rear half of the car is hard to judge, there are parking packages with sensors that will make parking a cinch. These packages aren’t available for the estate cars, but the estates are much easier to park, so this will not pose a problem.
