I think, as with any forum such as this one, you're necessarily going to see a collection of complaints, gripes, horror stories etc. because of the specific nature of this forum. It's a place where people come to get help. For my part, I've used Citroën cars since 1999. I then used a 1994 vintage ZX Aura 1.9D, which gave up the ghost in 2007 when the fuel pump decided not to let the engine go below 2000rpm! We then bought Mk. I C5 110HDi second hand. Apparently it's still going strong (I've since separated from my then partner who kept the car). Last year I bought a second hand Mk. II C5 2.0 VTR 138BHP with which I've had a few problems, all of them attributable to poor care on the part of the previous owner's garage (a Citroën garage in Yorkshire!). Otherwise the car has been an absolute star. It's taken me and my partner from Southport to Ipswich and back in absolute comfort, without breaking a sweat and doing a commendable 48 mpg thanks in no small part to the 6-speed gearbox, cruise control and the turbo. I've since seen a few Mk. III C5's on the road over the past couple of months and I really like the look of the car. I'm going to keep my current C5 for a few years yet, by which time there may be some reasonable deals to be had on used Mk. III's. If there are, I'll be there looking for one.
