Thank you very much Paul. That was very helpful. Basically it was what I thought based on my memories of my DS and CX. As for tyres I had already made up my mind to avoid anything with over 17" wheels. The ATF info is also highly appreciated.

Thanks to all of you who replied to this topic. The thing about changing ATF is whether there is a drain plug in the torque convertor or not. If there is then it is an easy job, if not a real pain . The fluid temperature is far more critical when topping up than when draining. The link to the handbooks was very useful.Thank you. One more thing that I would like your opinion on is is the steering and handleing as bad as a lot of reviews make out or is it just kneejerk to something a bit different. Please excuse me for asking these questions instead of test driving a car but because of where I live (Pembrokeshire) the nearest car that I have found for sale is 100 miles away and that isn't the spec I am looking for.

Hi there.Back in the day when a lot of todays population were still to be born I had the pleasure of owning a DS21 Safari followed by a CX2400. Both of which were great but the DS shone. I have now decided to buy a C5 estate, either 2.0 160 or 3.0 V6 automatic around the 2010 mark. I am primarily looking at the Exclusive models and I was hoping that somebody could clarify the seat adjustment on the models with electric seats. What I want to know is whether the angle of the seat can be changed. I've found seat angle adjustment on manual seats but no mention on the electric ones. Also anybody know what the ATF change period is. Any tips on buying these cars would be greatly appreciated. One last thing that I am curious about is the great slab of switchgear in the middle of the steering wheel. Does it not get in the way? Thanks in advance.
