Anyone who has driven a hydropneumatically sprung Citroen from the DS, GS, SM, BX, Xantia, XM and C5 will tell you that the C6 is the pinnacle of his speed touring machines... Their ability to travel vast distances at speed with minimal fatigue is legendary... No metal sprung car can insulate you from the microvibrations that a Citroen eliminates. Combined with the fact the Citroen squat from and rear under strong braking plus have height adjustable self levelling suspension means that even a blow out means no loss of control. Rolls-Royce used the system under license from Citroen for the Shadows. In 1978 I had a new Shadow II and a Citroen CX Prestige. My passengers and I preferred the Prestige... the C6 is the modern equivalent and the last PROPERY CITROEN.
i drove 3.0 HDI 240hp C5 great engine no vibration and very quiet ride Suspension comfort when well maintained is perfect you dont feel bumps on bad roads
Interesting car. How does the ride quality compare to that of the Mercedes 600 SEC and Cadillac Seville STS? I'm curious because I've never driven a Citroën with hydropneumatic suspension.
Quite unique indeed! The hydropneumatic suspension is impressive and really lives up to its reputation. In my opinion it is just as good as the Mercedes W140 S-Class and better than that of the Cadillac Seville STS on decent roads.
I definitely agree! Unfortunately I was unable to get an exterior shot of the car, but it has a very quirky and distinctive appearance in true Citroën fashion. I highly recommend that you look it up online, it is the 2006-2012 generation.
Great car it just floats on a good roads at higher speed but suspension is not so soft at bad roads. I had Citroen C6 but never really had time to enjoy this car because most of the time car has been in autoservice and during that time fixed broken heater flaps, AC, electric parking brake, starter, three blown up coolant hoses... then finally overheated engine and sold this nightmare with one of the worst diesel engine ever built 2.7 hdi
Yes, the suspension is the strong point of the C6. I think it rides just as well as some high-end luxury cars that are far more expensive. You are right that the reliability of the PSA PF3 platform is quite poor. I can really relate to the issues you had as my family owned a Peugeot 407 for many years back in the day, having virtually identical problems to those you listed. It cost us more than €15,000 in repairs to keep it running, so definitely not cheap cars to own. Thank you for watching!
@@Auto_Lore With a bit of a delay to the discussion,but yes! The 2.7 and the 3.0HDi's are pretty hefty to own and maintain. They really like breaking the crankshafts without any good reason. This,and pretty much a few other things. If You want Diesel C6,I suppose 2.2HDi is the best option,but it's a really damn slow thing. Otherwise,3.0i is great one,that has a lot less issues,but it's still,not a very very dynamic car. I wish these engines were more reliable,so that people can actually afford owning a c6.
@@antoanasenov4860 Hello, And yes. The Diesel engines are manufactured together with Ford at the time, and Range Rovers and Jaguars also have the same engines in similiar cars like the C6. Obviously, it was the Diesel era back then, and a large number of the cars sold back then are diesel, but still, I wouldn't try to own one of these. If you want the C6, get the petrol. I'm saving for one myself. Cleaner, less problematic, and you can put LPG with it.
underrated car

How do you maintain the suspension? @remstesthd6784
@@TesIaCH By getting it serviced.
If I buy a used Citroen c6, and the suspension needs repairing, are there even shops for that? it's not a regular suspension.@@captainwin6333
I love it!! Very good POV
Thank you for watching!
the decorations are master level 👌
genau so sieht unser Citroën C6 aus🥰
Detta är ju i Sverige!, hej där kamrat :D
Que bonito el interior 🥰
Pure classe !,....nice drive!,.....thanks.
Smooth! Top car!
Innen wie meiner. Außen habe ich Mauritiusblau. ein Traum !!!
I test drove one of these a while ago. Nice car and very smooth but a little seasick inducing and floaty on the motorway.
Real consumption ?
