@@cyandic1000 True! My dad bought a 98’ xsara, then when the facelift came along in 2003 he was the one of the first to buy it, fuel injected 1.6 liter making 110 hp when new, a proper 9 second sport hatchback, not impressive for today, but in 03’ it certainly wasn’t slow, couple years back it was handed down to me, still have it and my dad was looking to buy a new car, he went to the same Citroen dealer that sold him those cars, and came out disappointed to find that the brand he was loyal to for all these years doesn’t have anything anymore, just boring average cars..

Sometime in the past, Citroen was at the forefront of automotive innovation and the general market figure. Had they been luckier or stuck to their ruthless product expansion plans, they could give the Japanese a run for their money
What nailed their coffin was restrict the DS successor model to only have a rotary engine fitted, which was very fuel and oil hungry right when fuel crisis hit pretty hard making them put back the old piston engines turning them into sludgy lazy boats. It sold poorly but then citroen kept making more with the same technology and better engines this time, but people weren't that interested anymore because of that so mistake I stated previously, drowning them in debt iirc. If they considered conventional piston engines in the first place I think they would still be thriving to this date, independently.
Citröen, Peugeot and Renault were kings back then, underated and goats in the automotive industry, nowadays Citröen has fallen a little behind, but both Peugeot and Renault are still giving a run for their money, Peugeot with their racing cars and Renault bringing still bringing amazing hot hatches, the eletrification is a unscapable reality for all 3, but they still giving every single drop of what they can do before going full eletric.
As a Peugeot driver. I like that they Make some big saloons like 605, 607. Those cars are cheap to buy aftermarket because no one desires Them. Thats why i like peugeot. Good engine and usually cheap maintain
Thats because he drive like à maniac, if u want to drive a hydropneumatic suspension car, u need to drive it like a boat, no hard steering wheel turn, no 2 foot braking. Everything is about smoothliness
For me Citroen isn't in a Dark Age. Citroën is Citroën makes what Citroën do since forever. However for Renault, dear god they are in a Dark Age, we talk about the guys crazy enough to put inside a daddy's car a freaking F1 motor or put Turbo Rally car before the group B was born, Renault was mad, now Renault is boring.
Well Renault has the RS line models and a cool sports car division (Alpine) while Citroen nowadays has the mighty Ami electric to dominate the dump container world championship lmao!
The Megane IV RS is dead at last and the alpine A110 doesn't have very long to live i agree it looked pretty grim until they revealed their new plans for the New R5
As a big Citroën fan, this one hits hard. The Citroën DS is one of, if not the most ahead-of-its-time car ever made, and the most beautiful one for sure.

The ZX 2.0 16V, innovation? A whole new steering rear axle, not by any steering method but just torsion it steered into the corner like the accord The whole hydropneumatic suspension line, from the "DS Tiburón" to the C6 was awesome. Cheap cars like the 2cv or dyane 6, for everyone, or the saxo for those who wanted to race. I'm more into Renaults but heck yeah Citroën this was the French Saab
I had a friend who had a Xantia he bought for 700€, in good conditions. Unfortunately, he was a bad driver so he crashed it 3 times before it was considered broken. Before he crashed, his Xantia was so fun to drive and so beautiful 😍 with my 207 and my other friend's 406 we used to have a lot of fun in our cheap cars 😂
The c1 is pretty good, cheap car thats fun to drive, and it has a pretty decent top speed of 171 fully loaded with 4 people and baggage. Without it might be able to push 180.
it doesnt go anywhere near 171 with 4 people and baggage, not even close. Only with you alone, low gas in the tank and a steep hill down can you do 170+ in that catbox on wheels. I have a 107 09 myself, the exact same car with a different badge. They both have a Daihatsu engine. It's not built by PSA or Toyota, its from a Daihatsu Charade. One of my best friends is a licensed mechanic who took his education at a Toyota shop and indeed both the 107, C1 and Aygo use that Daihatsu Charade engine and all 3 perform exactly the same.
@@Ardonn you don't even have remotely the same car lol. My car wasn't made back in 2009. It's had a run from about 2015-2022 or something. But I have the better 2019 version.(it had some minor improvements compared to the older models). We have the same car as in technically the same brand and kind of car. But most other stuff is very different. And yes it does 171 loaded with groceries and 4 people. I mean thanks for reading it but you're talking about a pretty different car that you say yourself you don't own. I got a 108 which is almost literally the same car as a c1 so maybe it goes a little slower but not much. And you might also be using garage as fuel perhaps if you can't get close to it because decent fuel does improve performance noticeably. And it says my engine has not been used in your car from what I could find. 1KR-B52 This is the engine I got if you're wondering. According to the papers that say my car makes 72hp (or well its in kW but I converted it and that's what it is converted) the other engine makes a few hp less and the other one a bit more. Some other versions of my car do have some similar engine to yours tho, but not sure how the rest of the car would compare.
Peguot, Citroen, Renault and Dacia are car brands i dont like the most. Back in the 90s Renault, Peguot and Citroen made amazing cars but then something went wrong in 2000-2017. But the modern cars of these brands are okay.
They are doing the same exact thing, making some real weird ass vehicles. I'm sure a lot of people in the 90's didn't like their cars, but now they do looking back at them. It's the same exact thing.
You realize that Peugeot and Citroen are pretty similar. Not only did some models have similar near identical motors, but also similar and identical cars, at least then they did, such as the 106 and the saxo, by shitting on Citroen you are kinda shitting on Peugeot too lol.
Safety regulations was partly the reason, fatter bumpers, pillars, crumple zones blah blah blah. And the obvious one is what customers want, and most want an suv because ItS tHe sAfEsT wAy To TrAvEL. Sigh The upgrades till the c2/c3/c4(and many more of the same era) were promising and nice, now it's just plain ugly offroader wannabes, I want the simple looking saloons/hatchbacks back :( (yes I know about the newest Honda civic, it looks great)
Out of all car brands nowadays, if you consider Citroëns bad desing, then youre probably calling bad desing 90% of the market. Just look how Mercedes and BMW copypastes their headlights or dacia just copies renault who copies Skoda who copies Ford...
I still find it astonishing that had it not been for the innovative minds at citroen developing the DS then Charles De Gaulle would've been assassinated but he survived due to the car being able to drive with multiple flat tires
Where is the 2 cv bro that was the car my family told me about ( it was a 2cv az its my granpa's car) that car made me fall in love with cars citroën was fire bro but it all ended😪
Tbf I quite like the new C4. And that comes from someone who despises Crossovers / SUVs. And their DS brand is really sexy (other than the DS3. The inside is ugly)
why does everything today has to be an SUV? and those headlights they've had since the C4 Cactus are hideous... BTW this video misses the Loeb - Xara era of WRC
My first crash was in a cactus, my dad’s., me and some friends were parked uphil and the thing was so freaking slow that no matter how hard I tried to push it forward I just couldn’t do it. It crashed the car behind us. I’ve driven so many cars and that was the worse by far
je croit que l'auteur a pas comprit le concept des little dark age,parce que les citroen actuel sont très bien,la marque n'a rien de morte aujourd'hui. elle innove et propose des design bien différent des autre aussi bien en extérieur qu'en intérieur.
il a tres bien comprit le concept car les voitures de citroen d'aujourd'hui sont horrible, leur design sont comme celles de toyota et ils ont seulement les moteurs 1.2, 1.5, 1.6
Le style citroen est mort depuis 2008 je dirais. Leur dernier innovation restera la c5 2 je dirais. A partir de l'ere "citroen essential" avec le c4 cactus, il ne font plus que de l'entrée de gamme générique au possible, bourré de gadget plus inutiles les uns que les autres avec une fiabilité ridicule. Et le fait qu'ils ont abandonné la technologie hydractive 3 avec la fin de la c5 confirme mes pensées. Toutes les voitures de la gamme sont des peugeot génériques avec un pare choc différent. C'est tout

you forgot the 2CV and the 11CV
Wow this is really good
Where is the 2 cv bro that was the car my family told me about ( it was a 2cv az its my granpa's car) that car made me fall in love with cars citroën was fire bro but it all ended😪
I admire Citroën for their innovation.
Btw I had a C5 Tourer. Such a nice car but really unreliable.
You don't even show xsara , C4 and C3 , road or rally this car was insane what a shame
The Nürburgring pov is in a xsara
I mean they still use the C3 in wrc2 so it’s not completely gone I guess
1:34 Reliant Robin, but better.
Wait nobody made about renault?
I miss my Saxo
Needs more Saxos
0:27 Jermery Clarkson's campervan
ah suit asphalt 8 when the citroën survolt get so famous
Saw jezza's tower block 😆
leaning tower of Citroen
never seen that car company ngl
THAT MEANS MY DAD WILL NEEd TO SELL HIS CITREON C4 THAT HE GOT FOR WINNING A RALLY!
At 1:01 , the eggs are still good 👍
one of them is capble of towing a boat
my mum owns a ds3 dsport and lemme tell u that thing rips
Honestly, modern Citroens don't have any attractive design... I loved the old ones though
Tbf I quite like the new C4. And that comes from someone who despises Crossovers / SUVs.
And their DS brand is really sexy (other than the DS3. The inside is ugly)
zooooomer moment
just being honest the last good citroen car was the c3 aircross
Swagtroen
why does everything today has to be an SUV? and those headlights they've had since the C4 Cactus are hideous... BTW this video misses the Loeb - Xara era of WRC
I had 2 C1 Citroens,total shitheaps.Sorry but I like the rain outside my car...😡
My first crash was in a cactus, my dad’s., me and some friends were parked uphil and the thing was so freaking slow that no matter how hard I tried to push it forward I just couldn’t do it. It crashed the car behind us.
I’ve driven so many cars and that was the worse by far
😢
For me the french automakers never really made any interesting cars besides the older hatchbacks
Faltó la c15

je croit que l'auteur a pas comprit le concept des little dark age,parce que les citroen actuel sont très bien,la marque n'a rien de morte aujourd'hui.
elle innove et propose des design bien différent des autre aussi bien en extérieur qu'en intérieur.
il a tres bien comprit le concept car les voitures de citroen d'aujourd'hui sont horrible, leur design sont comme celles de toyota et ils ont seulement les moteurs 1.2, 1.5, 1.6
Le style citroen est mort depuis 2008 je dirais. Leur dernier innovation restera la c5 2 je dirais. A partir de l'ere "citroen essential" avec le c4 cactus, il ne font plus que de l'entrée de gamme générique au possible, bourré de gadget plus inutiles les uns que les autres avec une fiabilité ridicule. Et le fait qu'ils ont abandonné la technologie hydractive 3 avec la fin de la c5 confirme mes pensées. Toutes les voitures de la gamme sont des peugeot génériques avec un pare choc différent. C'est tout
@@arkadedrive8257 peut être, mais d'autres compagnies arrivent à faire de belles marges touts en proposant des véhicules fun et avec des technologies servant à la conduite, et non pas une batteries de gadgets.. perso la recharge par induction du téléphone, ils peuvent se la garder. Ça sera de l'argent économiser à investir dans la conception d'une voiture, qui roule, ça beaucoup l'oublie
pin this comment and reply to this if anyone catched the leaning tower of Citroen
