Call John mad all you like - but he can't be alone in loving the old-school Citroeness of a C5 Aircross 😌
Writing about cars comes with many privileges. One of which is the conveyor belt of new models being delivered to your doorstep on a weekly basis. It’s a remarkable luxury but comes at a price. You inevitably lose the excitement of getting in a new car – savouring that new-car smell, the delight of sifting through the manual and learning how it all works, and the pleasure of marking your territory by filling up the pockets with the personal effects that make it your own.
Plus, I did have to drive. Quite a lot actually. I have a farm in Wales and, as an essential business, this meant I was doing a round trip of over 300 miles in a day every couple of weeks to check on its operation. The Huracan’s not the best car for that sort of caper, either, whereas the C5 was a delight. Granted, you’re probably thinking a stodgy C5 SUV is about as PH as the Sinclair three-wheeler with which it shares a name - but let me try to politely persuade you why you’re wrong.
To go with its squishy ride, you sit up relatively high on fantastically squishy seats; wide, comfortable chairs that Citroen calls its Advanced Comfort seats. The blurb says these are ‘composed of high-density foam in the core of the seat, with an extra 15mm layer of foam and a specific structure’. If that sounds like pure PR balderdash, for once it stands up to scrutiny. I love ‘em.
