Citroen C5 X

FINAL REPORT Comfort-focused hatchback is perfect for our creative director and his family

- Darren Wilson

IF anyone is counting, this is the fifth report on the run Citroen's flagship since December 2022, so regular readers might wonder why the longer loan and extra report? Well I love the car, so I asked Citroen if I could keep it a bit longer.

In my first report in January, I said, "It's the kind of model that makes you want to book a driving holiday". So when my eldest son George asked if we could give him and his children a lift from our South London home to Center Parcs in Longleat, Wiltshire, my wife and I took the chance to drop them off and travel down to explore Somerset.

Child seats are becoming increasingly bulky and although we can fit both our grandchildren in the back of the Citroen with room to spare, carrying an extra adult jammed between them in the back is only an option for short distances.
