Great review of the big Citroen with the small engine. In Germany I did find only one. The guy complained that the 1.2 engine is not moving the car at all. He said he needs ear protection because it is so noisy and the automatic gearbox changing gears whenever it wants but not when it's needed. And if you travel 1000 km you will need road assistance twice at least. That is how paid experts are bashing all non german car brands. Thank you for your realistic and personal insights!

Very good review and realistic. Citroen have dropped the 1.6 petrol engine with 180 bhp anyway. I have a 1.2 Sense Plus in which I have driven over 8,000 miles. On a run it averages a genuine 45 mpg or more, and around town 33 to 35 mpg. The engine has plenty of get up and go, and is silent when cruising. Stellantis are using the same floor pan and engine in the Peugeot 408, and soon with the Vauxhall Insignia. All basically the same car, but badge engineered British Leyland fashion. It is surprising the C5x did not achieve a full 5 star NCAP rating. The big disappointment with this car is the ride quality of cars that do not have the active suspension. Only the hybrid models have adaptive suspension. That aside, the car is fantastic value for money and a great space to spend time in. Cost of ownership is low too. It has all the power you need to drive on our congested, and speed monitored motorways. The car also encourages a more relaxed style of driving too. The C5x is made in Wuhan, China.

I’ve got the 1.2 Sense Plus.Its got more than enough power,& good economy to.Great car.

Really good review thanks! Was wondering about the performance of the 1.2 and loved your demo driving up the hill, something I really missed in all other reviews about the c5x. Thanks for making this video, really makes a difference you actually own the car and know your stuff.

Just about the best review on the C5X. No other video pointed out the 'loose' window, the panel pulling, the or pointing out the positioning of the rear view mirror. I had a C5 bought it brand new, and had it 9 years. I considered it the best car I ever had. I only got rid of it for the diesel scare. I just wished I kept it now. I'm seriously thinking about the C5X in the future.

Great review Jim , thank you.

Very enjoyable and informative review Jim. 👍👍

Hi Jim, In Australia we only get one option, we get the Shine with a 1.6 engine. I looked at the specs for this car but it did not mention coloured lights accross the dash. In Australia Citroen don't think we need a centre arm rest with cup holders in the back seat. I find that very odd. Thank you for showing us your car, I really enjoyed your review.

I own a 2018 peogeot 3008 with a 1.2 and it does everything I need it to do. On the motorway it's perfect.

The "I don't likes" , I have seen a lot of reviews, no one have mentioned these issues . Thank you for mentioning these quirks!! It stays a French design made in China.

It’s honestly just like watching Mike Brewer guvna, hopefully you can review one day the carpenters favourite ride the Shaguar!

Hi Jim , thanks for the review , have you kept a record of the mpg the car is returning ?

No matter what, the resale value would be a big "surprise"

According to HeyCar UK it does have ambient lighting maybe you need to activate it and it probably only works when it knows it’s night time?

Hi. I would like to know how many kilometers can be traveled with full tank of gasoline .Thank you

Do you have heated seats in this?

i will say i do love the car but the 1.2 and the hybrid are useless for towing a caravan
