I'm afraid that if I'm going forced back to springs sometime in the future, it won't be in a Citroen.
Me too, the Volvo S80 is calling me from a far! It does everything that a big Citroen does, except the suspension isn't as good.

Nor the turning circle, which can get very challenging in tight spots and multi-storey carparks.

The turning circle of the C5 is dreadful as well.

The Volvo's are in supertanker territory, everyone complains about them.
