A warm welcome Calvin. My last 3 cars were Korean cars too. They were the Elantra, Sonata and Trajet. Straight off, your comfort level will definitely improve. Next, you will have to accustom to the quietness of your conti car.

Welcome calvin!

Yesterday I saw a black C5. Very nice n solid.

Initialy was deciding btw the C5 or ford mondeo. In the end, my kids wanted space n insisted on the C4GP. Hee hee.

Hi Rendino,
The C5 that was featured in WHEELS magazine June 2011 issue was a black one too.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. Voyager! yes i am reading alot of your post here and u are knowledgeable on citroen . :)

Ron Guy, i was driving XD elantra, EF sonata, NF sonata before.

Rendino, same here test drive both mondo and C5 both new and used but decide on C5.
My 2 boys love the C4GP space and huge sun roof but i do not like MPV. My wife can't wait to sit in the car, she was really impressed like me.

You guys are right!!!, C5 is very quiet, smooth, comfotable and really value for money. It is a really understated car. I am initially worried about reliability in the long term but after reading the posts here and some online review it changed my mind. Hope i made the right choice in this crazy COE climate.

I love the ride comfort of the C5, but I still love my Legacy AWD Boxer.... :love:
