Hi All
As per the title, just wondering if anyone else out there has owned their C5 from new. Still love the car every time I get in it and can't think of anything else I would rather be in as my every day driver after over twelve years.

Not quite, but had it 10 years.
Would only change for a C7 RS6 but don't do enough mileage to justify the expense

I'm almost at 6 years (but it's for-sale at the moment and got a viewing this weekend...).
Loved every moment!

Hmmm not a C5, but I still have my original 2000 S4 B5. Or most of it
99k miles, and probably 99k of receipts!
