Bought the car a few months ago and I absolutely love it. It was above my expectations considering the price vs the overall feeling, practicality, comfort and design of the car. The 1.6 petrol is great in sports mode, very practical in comfort mode and I have no clue why Eco is there as the consumption is basically the same as comfort in any contenxt... Also this is not a car built for aggressive driving but it is rather perfect for anyone looking for comfort and for owning a very very different car inside and outside as compared to anything else at the moment. My grade (1-10) for it after 4 months would be an 8.5 and this is the highest I have ever given to a car to date. If it would have AWD available then it would receive a 9.5 as it would have made this car absolutely perfect. This is my view as an owner. I recommend the car.

@extreme8808 5 месяцев назад

Daniel, can you tell me if this has ventilated seats, even as an option? I can't figure out from the configurator, which is kinda bad. I see the heated seats buttons, but I'm interested in the ventilated part.

Great review. Call it what you want, this body style fits my needs perfectly. I currently drive a last model C5 Tourer but only rarely use its full capacity - the previous C5 estate helped me move house with a trailer and it just kept on swallowing up stuff as well as munching up the miles during the 350 km each way trips. So one of these with a towbar would be a perfect fit for me. I take the point about the high sills (me being quite an old git these days) but my biggest problem with my C5 is having to bend my neck to fit through the low roofline.

Thanks for the review Marek. When you hear estate/coupe/SUV crossover sounds a little odd but this is a surprisingly practical car. Seeing the physical HVAC controls and the proper sized cup holders make me wish that I had the same in my car. PSA/Stellantis have been giving us tiny cupholders for years but hopefully they've realised that overseas markets have different sized cups :D

MAREK you're on fine form again 😁 always make sure your leg is in the car fully before trying to close the door! Bloody hell you're gonna amputate your own leg if you're not careful. Love the seats & the suspension will make the car a pleasure to drive.my only issue is why is everything these days got to have some form of suv type style..?? Do you think one day a manufacturer might be bold enough to move Away from these type of vehicles as they really are lacking in a certain style..a nice estate car is far more attractive on the eye..but it is just a personal opinion 🤷 great review as always sir💯👌

@MarekDrivesENG Год назад

Well, there's always the regular Passat estate :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GVUWhlBcCX8.html And Passat Alltrack ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_DiEDe2yIN0.html Not to mention Skoda, Audi, BMW, Mercedes.... Peugeot makes the 508 estate.

@mirkozlikovski9553 Год назад

seen in person SUV is absolutely the last thing one would think about C5X... shooting break , estate or even a coupe springs to one's mind far before any SUV thoughts, because the car is long, wide and, with its 1.49 m of height, at least 10-15 cm lower than any SUV.... the only thing that vaguely remind of SUV is its 19 cm ground clearance and plastic wheel arch cladings... the damn thing looks surprisingly good in person (saw and drove in pearl white, hybrid 225, Shine+, with black roof) and drives comfortable as a dream....

@trrruls Год назад

@johnbowie4869 Год назад

Great honest review, instant sub. Mentioned many points that those big head "car reviewers" didn't. Would you choose this or a VW arteon? Might be an interesting comparison

@MarekDrivesENG Год назад

Arteon's big selling point for me is AWD and more powerful engines. As well as a diesel option, which IMO is still the ultimate choice for long distance driving. The C5 X has a lot going for it, but powertrain choice is a limiting factor.

@h.gilani 6 месяцев назад

Another great review @Marek! I'm undecided between C5X and C5 Aircross. I have a 3y old and we need boot space. Which one would be your recommendation between these two? Aesthetically, C5X is definitely nicer looking. Thanks in advance for your help.

@MarekDrivesENG 6 месяцев назад

AFAIR C5 Aircross has three individually sliding seats. That's convenient for expanding the boot space, while the kid is little, and you need to carry more baby paraphernalia in the boot, and expanding legroom for adults.

@aeloolindowy Год назад

Which cars, that are roughly in this class or cheaper, have better sound insulation?

It's going to depend on the options. Look for acoustic glass on the windshield and preferably also on front side windows. If available, it's usually a paid option.

@@mirkozlikovski9553 most raised up cars or SUVs are raised to give them more rough terrain capability. AWD arguably goes hand in hand with that. The French, who have the Alps and things, have always steered clear of AWD in most of cars for some reason. It's nice to have the option.

@mirkozlikovski9553 Год назад

@@car_babble naaah.... not that I don't agree with the logic ...terrain vehicles are (amongst other things) raised to give them more rough terrain capabilities, but the vast majority of SUV's are just "terrain vehicle look-a-likes" that have little or no terrain capabilities even when they have AWD! in other words, they look like terrain vehicles because currently predominant fashion demand's it! similar like some 15+ years ago was MPV and everything had to be, or had to look like a "monovolumen".... and this one, seen live, doesn't even look SUV-ish, let alone being a SUV.... believe me, for the usage & purpous this car (and every other D segment family sedan/wagon) is intended, AWD means just "half of a tonne" of iron you have to drag around every day with you.... which is kind of a nonsense even if there is an occasion on every "odd" or "leap" year, when having it would actually come handy! although, I agree with you about having the option... options are always nice things to have, regardless of their "actual sense or necessity", because consequently that's up to the customer to decide
