This is considered the most confortable automobile in the world. When you buy a luxury sedan, you want them to be like that not rough and hard like the Germans. Luxury demands confort and the French remain the best at making those comfy cars. Citroen could teach a lesson even to Bentley or Maserati.
@@DavidColexA complete suspension requires two setting: damping and stiffness. Air pressure allows you to change stiffness and hydraulics damping. You need both connected to a controller with the active suspension system to fully adapt the suspension to any road.
We got ours new in 2007, it has 100k km now! Appart from a few minor problems we did never have any big problems, so all in all a very reliable Car! I can see why they only sold so few of them, as many people prefer to buy something german for the same kind of money(64'000) ...
A shame Citroen doesn't sell in the USA-i would buy one! They do sellin brazil..maybe someday? i like the French auto designers-they are unique and not boring.
How does it behave in mountain ranges (for example the Alps?) with like 4 passengers and some luggage? Enough torque/power to manage that? Does it ride well in snowy conditions?

Australia here. one for sale 1200 kilometres away from me. going to check it out trading in my c5 for it. I hope it is a good car. thank you for your informative report on the c6. stay safe
The C6 is stunning both inside and out. I would love one. But after owning a C4 which spent more time at the dealership, than at my home. Due to electrical problems, which Citroen couldn't fix. I'm very wary about purchasing another Citroen. But the C6 keeps calling me. I wish their electricians were as good as their designers.
I love these cars - so chic and classy. But I wouldn't be surprised if this example shown in the video has been in a rear end accident. The citroen badge on the bootlid is all wonky and I am sure even Citroen quality control wouldn't let that out of the factory!
Bij de Citroen dealer moet je dus niet zijn bij technische problemen. Bij de diesels vaak een emissie storing, thermostaathuis is van kunststof en kan plotsklaps scheuren onderweg met alle gevolgen van dien, automatische transmissie om de 60.000 km spoelen (vooral bij de eerste bouwjaren).
Citroen diesel? Waterpomp en sensor voor automatische vent nakijken. En beter nog; het hele koelsysteem. Koppakkingen knallen er bij de C5 aan de lopende band uit. Was bij de CX nog erger en zal bij de C6 niet veel anders wezen.
De meedraaiende koplampen doen dat alleen als de auto rijdt. Stilstaand voor een muur dus niet. Dan zijn ze dus niet stuk, dat hoort zo. Klassieker in spe net als de Citroen SM.

You've glossed over the most important aspect, hydropneumatic suspension. There's loads of things that potential buyers need to be aware of, maintenance isn't typical and key thing, front top struts if they are fucked the car can be a write off. I think I can see some rust around top struts in this one.

Still the most beautiful 'modern' car. I want to finally buy one next year.
Did you buy it?
I have a feeling that the C6 will be a future classic. Most distinctive Citroen since the CX IMHO.
Don't forget the XM. It is as distinctive and deserving to be called classic as CX imo. I'm in the market for one actually :)
Still looks amazing today.........so way ahead of its time
I love this, it's just not your average passat or audi it's just something wierd and unseen, Superb boatcar xD

100% agree.
Citroen used to be partnered with maserati even using their engine in the SM
Not true. Air suspention is better than hydraulic. All the luxury marques use air.

Nobody would have bought them brand new. However there is one C6 in the USA.

Also headlights looks uneven.
But it’s a very rare 3 litre model. The 2.7 is for Marshals of France. The 3 litre for Napoleon himself. Super rare. I want it.

Dit is echt mijn droomauto!!! Wat een mooie bolide gecombineerd met comfort
Apart uitziende wagen, geweldig interieur en ik denk het meeste waar voor je geld!
Leuke review, alleen de koplampen draaien niet als je stilstaat je moet daarvoor rijden dus dit klopt niet en wat is dit een prachtige wagen!
Useful video: thank you.
Citroen diesel?
Waterpomp en sensor voor automatische vent nakijken.
En beter nog; het hele koelsysteem.
Koppakkingen knallen er bij de C5 aan de lopende band uit.
Was bij de CX nog erger en zal bij de C6 niet veel anders wezen.
Goed dan dat deze video over de C6 ging en niet over de C5
Test with a meter .. interior mesurments is like a Short Wheelbase F category

What about suspension ? Is it reliable?
Yes, it is more reliable than Air-suspention because of the mechanical parts
love this car
Forget about having one of these just be able to drive it pleases me.
DS, SM, CX, XM, C6.
Do they still use 3 lug bolts on the wheel hubs? ISO 4 or 5 Vive la france!
No, 5 wheel bolts. Citroen have been 5 for years, except for a few of the smaller cars which have 4! Only the 2CV, Ami, Diane had 3 wheel bolts!
Thanks!
I was drunk and I was thinking why this man is talking in a weird accent! A day later it all makes sense!
Looool
That's Dutch for you. ;-)
@ 6;38...Replace the rim's security bolts. ??? Which bolts are you referring to?
+TheMister Mann I believe they are called "lock bolts" in english. The bolts that keep your wheel on the car
Locking wheel nuts/bolts.
I read somewhere that the 2.7 diesel engine will break down after say 200k km, what's the story with the 2.7?
Not a reliable engine. 3.0 is much better.
Mine has 220000 now. No issues at all.
