    I've had my C6 for over 7 years now as a daily driver. Sure there have been some big bills but the car is 16 years old now. I wouldn't change it for the world.

    Last true Citroen 😢 We had C5 (2006) with Hydroactive suspension- no words can describe that feeling 😊 after 600 km driving it you leave the car like you driven 10 km

    Also had a c5 and it was lovely. Xantia just as good. BX was ok but the DS I had was the best. Going to have to make a campaign for Citroen to sort themselves out

    I saw the Doug DeMuro review of this car. To him, almost everything about this car was weird and quirky. He didn't think much of the style, hardly mentioned the Hydractive Hydropneumatic suspension...he just kept pointing out anything that didn't look normal to his American taste. He predictably gave the C6 a low score. Mind you I disagreed with much of his observations but then I'm not trying to get views on KZread.

    Thanks for a well-filmed review that beautifully echoes the relaxed nature of the C6. I have one of these gorgeous cars and it is fabulous to look at and to drive. That said, as with all complex cars of this age, it throws challenges to test its owner, some of which can prove costly. Thanks for reviewing it 👍

    I used to drive a jaguar xj6 and later on a BMW 528, and I had always admired the clean lines of a Citroën CX, but they were already too old for me. And than this beauty came along. I toke a test drive in one, but compared to the 5-series I came in, the ride wasn't noticeable more comfortable, definitely noisier and there was this weird hu display that I didn't know how to switch off and that was simply annoying. Stunningly beautiful on the outside, disappointing driving experience, compared to Jaguar, Daimler and BMW.

    The C5 which I endured for 8 years was a huge money pit. The C6 is just a bigger money pit. The hydraulic suspension was nothing special but it was prone to need large wads of cash thrown at it. I should have got the one with the springs.

    I don't know, I didn't find the ride to be special when I test-drove the stupid thing and also rode in the back. It was way too floaty and made me carsick, even in the Sport mode, around town. It was also not as quiet as I was expecting. My old American luxury cars never made me carsick, by contrast.
