Mine used to do the 'Economy Mode' thing all the time. It's not done it once since I fitted a new battery.

Might be an idea to make sure you get a decent warranty with it whether it's from a dealer or privately. I bought mine privately and I've thrown a few hundred quid at a Warranty Direct one (£540 for two years) but I made 100% certain that the steering rack and other known weaknesses were covered beforehand. The price of the warranty is nearly as much as I paid for my last car (Xantia) but I reckon it's worth it for the peace of mind. (If you go with warranty direct then make sure you haggle with them. I got mine down from £360 a year to £270!)

My auto is averaging about 43mpg.

That was one of my reasons for narrowing my search down to autos only. The other reason was that I drove a manual and an auto on the same day and formed my opinion that the C5 is such a laid back, comfortable bus that it seemed such an effort having to swap cogs myself. The negatives are the fuel consumption and the road tax but the trade off was worth it I reckon. I also drove both the 138 and the 160 bhp engines and found both of them quick enough. The 0-60 time for the 138 auto is about 13 seconds but it genuinely doesn't feel that slow to drive. I finished up with a 160 auto that is apparently about 10 seconds for the same yardstick but doesn't feel much quicker to me.

Me too. Been looking for about a month now. Anything decent seems to sell very quickly- even if they look overpriced. Last week I went to see the 2010 138bhp auto that's for sale in Sheffield. http://www.bristolstreet.co.uk/used-car/1197299/citroen-c5-2-0hdi-16v-exclusive-5dr-auto-diesel-tourer/ If you're after a nice one then I wouldn't waste your time, it was rough. I've not seen one with a sunroof yet, although the panoramic roof seems a relatively popular option.
