my s-class has something similar.
really, really comfortable. memang tak rasa wei. if you wanna compare.... it's like sitting on a D cup girl
but the suspension has a much much shorter expiry date compared to normal beam.... i think it's 40k max? and not cheap also.

I bought my C5 from the previous dealership when it was about to transfer dealership to Naza. I got a 40k discount. The price I paid is less than a 508 premium. I almost bought the Ford Mondeo but decided on the Citroen C5 as the offer was good to miss.

how bad is the maintenance?
Recond hydraulic pump (green ball) cost RM600, new cost RM1k+ each If not mistaken, Xantia is using 5 balls. Gearbox overhaul cost about 2-3k (if i remember correctly)... Brand new replacement at least 20k
Other than these, engine & others all ok.
Comfort wise, 100% sure more confortable than C5, it feel like magic carpet when going over speed bump. U only hear the sound 'dup' 'dup' without any movement inside the car

Performance is good. but handling little bit heavier and stiff than I thought.. Maybe becoz Im driving small car and love to corner baring. But at highway this DS5 win liao..Macam bawak kapal terbang .

maintenance is nothing. just need to look out at clips at the octopus hose...and maintain the LHM fluid. keep the filters clean and you will have no headache. engine and gearbox is bomb proof. same engine and gb as ZX also.

Later RM1500 per absorber change. The pothole here abnormally deeper than those in Europe. Ultimate topkek...
Haha! Mercedes Benz E class RM370k cost that much to replace per absorber. What you are looking is S class range my friend. If not mistaken I saw on youtube those for S class airmatic suspension, USD1000 per piece. People can afford those money will go higher up, not staying in C5. But Citroën C6 gooding, my dad's boss last time tyre explode, but the pneumatic suspension keep stable like nothing happened. At that time time is the super old C6. Bad thing is replacement parts for pneumatic suspension are expensive until pants drop.

Both Xantia & ZX gearbox are timebomb! French cars are well known with problematic gearbox Only the engine is realiable...
People in 2015 still dont understand why toyota rules globally while citreon and peugeot dont have the balls to enter US market?
nanti kena class action suit even bmw already kena with the mini engine...
QUOTE
BMW of North America LLC was hit with a proposed class action Wednesday in New Jersey federal court alleging an engine defect in some of its 2007-09 Mini Cooper vehicles have cost vehicle owners thousands of dollars in repair and replacement costs. Named plaintiffs Joshua Skeen and Laurie Freeman contend BMW has known of the defect, which causes cars to suddenly quit without warning, since 2008, but failed to tell prospective purchasers about the problem, offer a recall or reimburse vehicle owners who have already paid to replace or restore their engines.
“Despite the safety risk to class vehicle occupants, defendants failed to disclose material information regarding the defect in an attempt to avoid the cost of repair and, instead, unfairly shift the cost of repair to class members,” the complaint said.
The models mentioned in the suit are the 2007-09 Mini Cooper R56 and the 2008-09 Mini Cooper R55.
The alleged problem is a defect in the Mini's timing chain tensioner, which maintains an appropriate tension of the engine's timing chain. The timing chain controls the timing of the engine's valves, but when the chain doesn't have proper tension or synchronization, the engine's pistons and valves collide with great force and the engine components suffer so much damage that the engine seizes and the vehicle loses all power, according to the complaint.
same like that other brand that supporter said was safer than honda and toyota due to (airbag/brake) issues that was hit in usa.. lol if they sold there.. dunno what issue they get hit as well..

Cannot sell in US. No left hand drive. Later ask for astronomical amount of money just to convert right to left
But they can never compete in a market which camry sells for usd20k
They cant even compete in a market camry is selling at usd40k
My 2013 C5 is using that engine and gearbox wor. Seems ok for 40k mileage ....
i dunno hor.. when i let my 407 go at 140k milage.. no issues (on engine side).. maybe u can report back when u reach 100k.. ok got one issue bad coil pack at 60-70k.. car masuk limp home mode cannot drive over 3k rpm..

Pug/citroen memang left hand drive. For right hand drive market they suck at converting it now u see all also terbalik. Inside glovebox got fuse box, handbrake at passenger side etc etc..

i dunno lol people driving the 508 and the 408 also didn't have issues with the engine. But the earlier 308 owners got issues. Early 308 owners got premature carbon deposit issues.

I dont mean pug/cit
Pug and cit can compete in uk. Which is also one of the harshest car market when mini cooper only selling at slightly higher than myvi price

that's strange. my 19 year old timebomb gb still hasn't explode yet.
why ah?
One of the lucky one. u probably Using only recommended gearbox lub & dun go up & down genting too often. That gearbox really sensitive to different lub & heat built up sure put a strain on the gb. Well I learnt that late & hv to dispose the car too early
if previous owner didnt take care it well ..it will bring all problems to new owner
Some cars.....they didnt bother to put sensors here & there..... if some minor defects happened, they will stay there unnoticed....maybe not that serious.
But some cars like pug.....they put many2 sensors....silap skit trigger....silap skit trigger. Tu yg memanjang trigger tu. Last 2 months got engine light on because of premature priming on cylinder numb. 4..... only happened for short time but the sensor need to be reset.

Betul..... last time since the engine light appeared on the way to kundasang.... everytime when I want to jalan jauh2....hati tarak senang. But till now....thanks God it doesnt show up for 2nd time. U know la sabah....only KK & Sandakan got sc.....
But the power of 1.6 THP so syiok....especially when layan kundasang, mersilau & crocker range.

* still remember 1 toyota land cruiser V8 cucuk2 me want to overtake otw to kundasang.... drive like want to sondol me. I was driving normal speed. At overtaking lane he was like wanted to overtake me already....so I stayed to the left but at the same time I put to sport mode & tekan also.... I could say that this land cruiser (powerful engine but heavier body) surrendered...... I smiled & lastly gave him way to overtake....that driver overtook me quite fast & left me.

yeah. I use recommend lub and maintain it properly and send to a specialist.
by the way....I stay very near to Genting. about 30 minutes drive. Sometimes do drive up to Genting for coffee on Friday nights.

The reason maybe the gradient was too short..... so THP reached max torque earlier & reached the speed earlier. another reason, although the 4.0 V8 is powerful, but the body itself is heavier & need more time.
