Citroen Automatic Gearbox?

Post by howiedean »

Hi,
I've started to look at a replacement car for when I return to the UK and I'm considering one with an automatic gearbox.
Does anyone know if the Mk2 C5 has the 6 speed auto that is similar to the one in the C4 and by that I mean it has the clutch and not the torque converter?
I've been considering the Vauxhall Zafira diesel with the 6 speed auto, the Kia Carens with the 4 speed auto and perhaps one of the Citroens. The C4 fuel economy is fantasic however I prefer something a bit bigger like the C4 picasso or another C5.

Regards,

Howie

I don't believe the C5 II has the EGS gearbox. There's a thread with some of the pros and cons of it here.

Thanks for that, I will have a look at the C4 options I think. I really liked driving the Vauxhall Zafira, hopefully the C4 Picasso will be better?
