Never drove a C4 so I can't do any comparisons. But I think you are going to enjoy the C5. It's just a wonderful car to drive. Enjoy.

c4 Ownera feel that C5's Drive Like Luxury Car And Not I Sports Car. The C4 Has A Stiff Ride Vs The c5 Luxury. I Replied On My Cell Phone. I Don't Know What's Up With The CapitalS ... But I Wanted To Reply

Congrats on the upgrade, owned them all C1 - C5 and there is no comparison to the ride. C5s ride more like the family sedan. My old back doesn't miss the bump, bump. Good luck with it.

From one pewter owner to another, you got a nice ride. Good luck with it. I also moved up from a C4 to a C5 some years ago and happy that I did. Congratulations.
