Passat or Citroen C5?
Have the option of buying a 11 citreon c5 1.6L diesel with 140000m for 8000e or a 10 passat highline 2L diesel with 110000m. Which is better value? More reliable etc. Both drove well on test drive
Our answer:
Hi Michael,
The Passat will shade it on reliability and future value, which is kind of a shame because the C5 is actually a really nice, underrated car. But the Passat is a safer bet, assuming both cars have the same levels of service history and are in similar condition.
