I'm looking for a family estate probably diesel.

Looked at a few honda accords and not been overwhelmed, and stumbled across an accord vs C5 comparison which presented the citroen very positively.

So, Anyone have one - or care to comment?

Am I right that the fancy suspension is only on the top model - some online guides suggest the VTR+ is also pneumatic.

cheers

Just picked our C5 tourer today! Its a 2009 VTR+ with the 110 engine. Its mainly for the Mrs to drive the rugrats round in but seems ideal for what we want.

Let me know if you have any specific questions but obviously can't give you any long term views yet :-)

I'd be interested in your thoughts when you've had it a few weeks.

I'm starting to think I should wait for the plate change in september when I'd expect a lot of cars to be traded in. With hols etc through august its going to be busy to be looking for stuff.

The negatives I've read on the C5 are steering and braking feel - comment on that?
