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.

I think its a result of 18 and 19" by 225 tyre fitments, there isnt much room for them to move about in the arches

Or balloon tyres if you're from the Isle of Wight.
