Citroen C5 2001 Estate car / wagon
A very spacious, solid interior, good visibility and ergonomic placement of controls (in last generation C5 press emergency stop button should be pressed by passenger).
With 65 litres of diesel I have travelled with even 1400 kms (depends on driving manners).
Unrealistically large cargo. The suspension height change, allows to drive places ordinary car could not pass. Hydraulics rules!

Would recomend this car to the friend
Pros: A very spacious, solid interior, good visibility and ergonomic placement of controls (in last generation C5 press emergency stop button should be pressed by passenger).

Unrealistically large cargo. The suspension height change, allows to drive places ordinary car could not pass. Hydraulics rules!
Cons: It is not as noticeable as BMW.
