C5 3.0 V6 Automatic Good Buy?

[c5 novice]

Hi,

 

I am considering buying a second hand 2002 C5 hatchback 3.0 V6 Automatic Exclusive SE which has very low milage, dealer warranty. They seem to be fairly unpopular, does anyone have anything good to say about them...? Peter

Welcome to the forum.

 

I suspect you have not had any replies since an auto 3 litre petrol C5 is probably quite rare. I may be wrong, but most of the posts appear to be for diesel models. We have a 2004 2.2 hdi hatchback and I am pleased with the car, owned for nearly a year, 6300 miles and now on 23 kmiles. So far no problems.

 

Any specific questions on the C5 (other than the 3 l auto) will, I am sure, generate some comments from members of the forum.

only problems you seem to get with the V6 are ignition coils.
