Randombloke Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 I've seen quite a few in Paris, and the odd one or two in other parts of France. A very slow seller. It's a shame we did not get the 2.7 V6 turbo diesel in the earlier versions of C5 - it would have made a very good road burner. Quote
coastline taxis Posted January 8, 2010 Author Posted January 8, 2010 Never even looked at the engine as i couldnt get passed the interior colour scheme and the dash layout Quote
iannez Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 they did a 2.2 twin turbo 170bhp hdi in the old shape c5. they are fantastic to drive and much more economical than the v6. Quote

myglaren Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 I had a ride out in one last September at a Citroen rally. Five of us went down some very narrow twisty country lanes in the dark.Lights were terrific, just as well as the driver (not the owner of the car) was pushing it and the owner telling him to give it it's head. Ended up doing 95 and it just floated along in a very surefooted but relaxed manner. The kick from the 2.7 V6 was pretty astounding for a car that is really just a 'wafter' not a rocket. Would certainly give Jaguars and big BMWs a run for their money. The new 3.0 promises to raise the game quite a bit too. Very tempted, let one go last year as I couldn't be bothered to go and see it as I was told it was blue and presumed the horrible powder blue. Wasn't. it was the very regal dark blue, almost black and suits the C6 impeccably, still kicking myself as it was very attractively priced, garage closed a few days later. Still have hankerings for a CX though. Quote
