My new Citroen C5 Aircross: First impressions after delivery

Graduating from a Ford Fiesta 1.6, I had to be aware of the body roll while taking fast corners.

BHPian streetfighter recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

The C5 comes home... and my signature is updated too After a hell of a lot of deliberations over the last few months, the heart prevailed which resulted in getting this sweet guy home. It was a delightful delivery experience by the Citroen Pune dealer (B4S motors) and many thanks to the entire team.

Why Pune... well, let's keep the story for another day. Yes, I will share my own experience in detail and will include the decision making, and the dealership experiences. I'd also like to mention that team-bhp was an important factor in the decision and buying process. Positive feedback by GTO and CircleOfLife was the icing on the cake.

Delivery was done from their workshop as the front of the showroom has been dug due to some construction work.

That's me (super happy)

The dealership team provided 2 miniature models of the C5 Aircross to both my kids.

The mobile service van is in the background. The dealership informed that the van is fully equipped for washing and servicing the vehicle at the owner's place.

After the drive back to Mumbai.

Initial feedback:

Absolutely fantastic ride quality, in fact, the family wanted the drive to be a bit more longer. Fit, finish, quality and space are very good. In the city as well as the highway, the pull of the engine+gearbox is nice. Body roll is present, I graduated from the Fiesta 1.6S, so I have to be aware that I can't take corners that fast now. Brakes are too bitey, especially at slow speed. Got 15.8 km/l as mileage. A long trip is being planned, stay tuned!
