French Car Forum

Just dropped by to say hi! I just purchased a '10 Citroen C5 1.6THP Prestige (MidHigh trim), which is my second Citroen and fourth french car overall, and I must say, it's proving to be an awesome car until now! Although I "had" to sell my previous Mazda CX7 due to financial reasons (you've all heard what's going on here in Greece), in some aspects the C5 is a better Car. I do miss the 300HP and 45kg/m of torque of my reprogrammed CX7 however, so we'll see how this goes (tuning of the THP is rather common here in Athens).

Our second family car is a 206, so I guess I have two reasons for being here, but my main concern right now is the C5 and its features, extras, and possible problems (for Instance, carbon buildup)...

hi and welcome Mr Ace

Welcome! Whereabouts in Athens are you? My dad lives in Kifissia, I lived there myself for 4 years after living in Neo Psychiko for a while. Oddly, Wikipedia refers to both areas as "wealthy", though I don't remember them like that at all back in the early 90s!

I'm located in Aghia Paraskevi, which is also a "northern suburb", kinda like the ones you mention (sort of the high-end and "wealthy" suburbs of Athens)....however this is of little to no importance these days

I used to know it reasonably well, as my best friend used to live on Gravias(?) opposite the American College..
