KEF C5

Advantages: Smooth, shiny and sexy
Disadvantages: Quite a few annoying little features

...on the basis of ascetic value. It?s small, smooth, shiny and sexy and it cost £100. What more could a girl want? On reflection I probably should have invested a little more time in my choice as I am likely to end up keeping this phone for at least a couple of years but there you go! So MY C5-2 is a described as a ?clam shell? phone, i.e. flip top, it?s shiny blue with a silver stripe through the middle that you can see in the picture on the product page. The front display shows the battery status, the time, date, signal and indicates whether it?s on silent, if the alarm is set etc. Pretty standard really. One annoying feature in this respect is that when you charge the phone, the stripe bit that I have described flashes. Huge green lighthouse flashes. Which, if you charge your phone on the bedside table at night, like I do, is annoying... Read review

Advantages: Big enough for the family and their luggage
Disadvantages: Typical French gear change

...This year my company increased the size of the list of cars which we are allowed to choose from. In addition to the usual Fords and Vauxhalls, we were able to get Peugeots, VW’s and Citroens. I decided to go for the Citroen C5, 2.0 SX estate as I do like a decent sized car with enough load space to get all the kids toys, bikes etc. in. I’ve had it for about 12 weeks now and have covered just over 1500 miles so I think I can make a reasonable assessment of it. OVERALL LOOK OF THE CAR It is very streamlined and looks good in the silver colour I opted for. It has aluminium roof bars which are, for the silver version, as near as makes no odds to being body coloured. Most people comment on how large it is when they first see it (stop it) but at 4756 mm long it is an inch shorter than the equivalent Mondeo estate. It also gives... Read review

Advantages: Excellent cruiser; Super fuel economy; Powerful engine; Equipment levels
Disadvantages: Difficult to keep clean!!

...I bought my C5 as a replacement for an ageing 406 HDi. Any car I own has to be an excellent cruiser, comfortable and reliable and (touch wood) the C5 has been all of these. In the 5 months I\'ve owned it, I\'ve covered approx 9000 miles. The only costs I\'ve had are a full service and cambelt when I bought it (I always do this with every car I buy) and 4 wheel alignment (car was scrubbing the front tyres). Apart from this - nothing else. The equipment levels of this car are great. The air con is a boon; the c.d. player gives good playback, although the radio reception can be a bit hit and miss at times; the on board computer gives interesting statistics (!); the automatic lights are a boon; automatic wipers are great; the cruise control a God send on long journeys. All in all, it has everything I want and need in a car Another... Read review
