What is the Citroen C5 like with the 1.6 HDI engine?

The brother is thinking of changing his car for something bigger and currently has this engine in the car he drives now. Would it be under powered in the C5 or is it adequate for it?

My wife had one for a couple of years, it's fairly gutless for a car that size. Would go for the 2.0 if you can find one.

I had one for a few years, would agree with this. Had issues with EGR, wiper motors, window regulators and the final issue was the steering rack when I decided enough was enough. Very comfortable though but the 1.6 engine is too small for a car that size.

Devil juice....

Kkv still dreaming of the C5 and they do handle as good as a boat but comfy....

1.6 should never have been produced...
