Yep, only the Exclusive - probably only 1 in 10 C5s have hydraulic suspension. I'd say if you're doing mainly city stuff, a diesel may be better ?

Having never driven a conventionally sprung one I perhaps shouldn't comment, but the hydractive suspension on our 2008 C5 tourer is sublime, our old Xantias were great cars for ride comfort, but this is an absolute magic carpet ride, even on UK roads! I'd definitely hang on for the 1 in 10.

Here in finland Exclusive´s and Confort´s have real suspension. Dynamic-models have come with iron-springs, but newer Dynamic´s have had also real suspension. I´d say that atleast 75% of C5 III here have real suspension. On diesel models all 1,6 HDi have iron springs. I wonder who on earth would like to buy C5 with iron springs?!

Indeed the UK appears to be treated differently by Citroen's marketing department, presumably to limit production for RHD models. LHD hydraulic C5s (this side of the moat) are in 2 models, Confort and Exclusive.
