Super TestCar reviews - Citroen - C5 - rangeCitroen modelsOverviewCitroen's smooth new C5 hits home turf, offering huge dynamic and refinement gains5 Sep 2008 A WHISPER-QUIET, fully-featured and highly ergonomic interior join forces with vastly improved dynamics and Citroen's famed hydro-pheumatic ride quality to make the redesigned C5 sedan and wagon an accomplished new entrant in the mid-sized premium car segment. Dull steering will prevent it winning a handling contest with the BMW 3 Series, but with a frugal yet rewarding diesel engine line-up, a more spacious cabin and improved perceived quality, the C5 should prove at least as popular as the model it replaces.
