You can still buy a C5 with hydractive 3+ but you have to go for top spec and to be honest the normal set up on the lower spec ones is fantastic so it has almost become irrelevant. Its something else to go wrong.
Citroen have also fitted the larger alloys to the hydractive models so some of the comfort benefit is lost.
FF - as others have said, you drove the wrong auto C5 - the 2.0 hdi 160 has a proper 6 speed auto. I've lived with the egs box in a picasso for 3 weeks, and although I got used to it its not a patch on the DSG or a proper auto. I had a 5008 with the egs box a few weeks back and had forgotten quite how compromised it is.
Also agree with the comments about the mondeo - I just don't get it. I would say any of the others you tested have a better feel.
Did you consider the 508?
