I just got my first C5 as well.

I love everything about it.

Ride, comfort and def mpg.

I think you will enjoy it, and so much to learn on this forum.

Great help anytime you need it.

Congrats!

The beast in the background is my daily driver but since I'm retired (56 years old) I don't do much daily driving.

nice upgrade! Your '96 was a nice looking car too. There is a crazy amount of space in the C5 though. That hatch makes for tons of room.
