I've never owned a Citroen but I think this car brand is underrated. As a passenger I drove different models and I can honestly say, Citroen is the most comfortable car in the world. Especially the C6, the highest comfort. Great car with unconventional design, different from thousands of identical cars.

My friend, I live in Liguria near Monaco (1hr) and I enjoy this trip. Amazing car! I drove from Italy to Warsaw in 2023 with my old mercedes.
I stumbled across this video by accident. I have driven through France and Spain to Portugal already almost 10 times since 2020, 3 of those this year. Watching this didn’t not help me, now I want to drive a long distance as soon as soon can :) looks like a very relaxing car to drive, congratulations! Wish I can try a C6 one day. Good luck with your car!

Thank you for uploading. I used your videos when I was researching about a C6 and a month ago bought one (actually in Warsaw) and drove it back to Germany. The trip was 1100km, didn't even need to refill the tank. Of course, no sign of back pain or any other pain, it's like sitting in a living room :) 12/2012, 103000km, I intend to keep it for a looooong time.

I owned a Citroen C6 during a couple of years I lived in Italy. I bought it to use exclusively as my daily driver but it was such a great ride that I ended up taking it all over Europe on family trips. Too bad there isn't a version for the US market.
Best kind of videos on youtube, but this one in particular is just beautiful. You really managed to capture the unique atmosphere of a cross-continental trip by adding the footage of the cars exterior and the gas stations. And of course what's there to say about the iconic C6. I'm subscribing and hoping for more great stuff like this.

Wonderful road trip to cinematic places. The appearance of the car reminds me of the influential characters played by Jean Gabin.
Great video! We had same issue with "airbag alert" (9:49) in our Citroen Xsara from 2002. When car was maybe 3-4 years old (cca. in 2006) there was sometimes same alert from time to time. We went in service couple of times and they could not solve issue, but told something like you (bad contact or wire under the passenger seat). But in end, when our wiper control knob breakdown during one trip (same as on Citroen C6, on right side od steering wheel) and we put a new one, then we never had this problem with airbag alert never again. We still own Xsara for 22 years now. Also great car ragarding comfort.
Amazing car, great video. Gotta love long road trips.
many people think it's an ugly car,but I think cute,interesting, innovative, quality, comfortable !

I would really like to try it and compare to my BMW E38 740d, which I consider the most comfotable long distance car I ever experienced. I kinda bought it because I wanted to go fast on long distances and I really liked how the V8 diesel sounds, but now it is my go to roadtrip car every time, because of how stable and comfortable it is. However I always liked the C6 and I could see myself owning one.

Wow, such a trip was so magic to watch, I did it while having my breakfast, it was so relaxing. I remember I told you I wanted one of those cars, you recommended me the 3.0 L HDI, sadly I couldn't find one in Spain during all this days and we really wanted a classy, comfy French car, like the ones are not made anymore. In the end I went for a Peugeot 607, 2,7 HDI, single owner. It belonged to a lady who bought it in 2009 and kept it very well maintained and, apparently she wanted to get rid of it because she got herself a new BMW (I guess she's got the bucks!). It doesn't compare how smooth it is against the C6 but I liked it, so we bought it (the wife said "approved" lol). Let's see how it goes, Hopefully everything goes well! Have good one! bye!

Cara, que video bom de assistir. Obrigado por nos proporcionar uma visão das estradas europeias. Aqui no Brasil, embora tenhamos ótimas estradas, é praticamente impossível manter altas velocidades devido a enorme quantidade de radares. Eu tive três Citroens. Um C4 hatch ano 2010 e dois C4 Lounge, um 2013 e outro 2015. Hoje em dia a Citroen no Brasil nao é nada do que era há uns 10 anos atrás. Antes ela vendia modelos considerados premium a luxo, hoje só vende popular ou carros mal feitos por aqui. Infelizmente.
Bez względu na to, co powiesz, samochód jest fajny!
Such an elegant car.
Awesome trip, awesome car! Had two c5 in the past, but never c6 so maybe it's the right time ... 🤔

Even Jeremy Clarkson was enthusiastic about the C6! Diesel versions are too old for my country, LEZ et cetera and huge road tax.
Nice video. The Vignette, however, is needed from Kufstein (German border) on and not only after Innsbruck. In fact, the Brenner Highway is to be paid separately as you mention. Hopefully this one is not turning into a very expensive trip as Austria has a very suffisticated automated recognition system...
