On this site, we talk a lot about the latest trends in men’s fashion and style. The clothes you wear make up only a small part of this. We all know that the car you drive plays a big part in the image you portray to people, whether you’re trying to make a good impression at work or simply drive a sleek car for leisure purposes. Of course, not everybody has a fortune to throw at the latest cars on the market, but you don’t need a flashy modern ride to look stylish. You’ll find plenty of older vehicles out there that cost a fraction of the price and still look amazing. The 2008-2010 Citroen C5 is one such example, and here are some reasons as to why you should consider buying it.
It still holds up in terms of functionality.
We’re often told that cars have advanced so much in terms of functionality. When you look at the dashboards of modern cars and compare them to the dashboards of cars from 10 years ago, the advancement is obvious. Bluetooth compatibility, reverse parking cameras, and other gadgets put modern cars leagues ahead of older vehicles. However, older cars still hold up in terms of their technical specs. The 2008 C5 is no different. The Exclusive model, in particular, is probably best suited to somebody of classy tastes. It comes equipped with a 2-litre turbo-diesel 4-cylinder engine. For a car that’s been around for a decade, those are some good specs.
And whether you go for the 2-litre engine or the 2.7-litre turbocharged V6 diesel engine, you’ll be treated to a ZF six-speed automatic transmission. In other words, it’s a vehicle that packs some punch. But the C5 is still incredibly comfortable and pretty, which is a staple of every Citroen vehicle. It’s not just smooth in appearance, of course; the handling is smooth, too. Just make sure that you buy your used C5 from a reputable source. If your vehicle seems to have some minor faults or issues (much like many older cars) then you could check out these Citroen parts to replace the older components. It’s important to make sure that your car is road-safe as well as aesthetically stylish and classy.
It’s more comfortable than many modern cars.
Citroen might not be the industry leaders in car manufacturing, but there are the leaders in one aspect of car development: comfort. The French really know how to make a comfortable car. And the C5 definitely pulls out all of the stops when it comes to a cosy interior. It’s so well-insulated from the outside world; you and your passengers will be able to hear yourselves talk, and even the sound of the diesel engine is muted whilst you drive. It also has relatively sturdy handling, so you won’t feel as if you’re fighting the car as you take on bends. For somebody who wants a sleek and stylish car that runs smoothly, the C5 is definitely a safe bet.
