Default Re: Citroen C5 X7 comparison

Mondomsn, I'm a little surprised that you rate the Mondeo drivetrain so much better than the Citreon. I have a MB with the Aisin 6 speed, and am quite happy with it. It doesn't have the response of the Powershift box, but Sport mode is well matched to the engine. I normally use it in manual mode when having fun, which works well for me.

I have the NZ base model wagon, which is speced a little higher than the LX. On the standard suspension with 16" wheels, the ride is very good. It isn't a sports car, but up to a point the handling is fine. I must admit that once or twice I have followed a Commodore SV6 on winding roads and had no difficulty keeping up. One driver just moved over eventually to let me pass!
