I have owned MANY cars in my life and my 2CV Charleston is by far my favorite! It is SO very easy to work on. I have had very little trouble with it. And it gets many "smiles per mile". You MUST get used to people stopping you to find out more information about this car. I had to print out sheets detailing the facts that most people want to know. The hood can be removed in 60 seconds. The fenders can be removed in about 5 minutes. Each door comes off in about 5 minutes each. Trunk cover removes in 30 seconds. Parts are priced very reasonably and easily obtainable from French Parts West in Washington state. It is one of the best investments I have ever made.

If you're here for the ride, you can skip to 2:56.

My 2cv6 Dolly from new, I had converted to a van, which I had always hankered after! (The car had been stored for 15 years) magic rally 2011 at Salbris, was a blast from the past; so many A models there! Always grinning when I drive my van!

That brings back such happy memories. My parents had one but got rid of it in 2001. We also had a 2cv 4 back in 1997. I'd love to have one now!

posséder une 2cv , c'est un"art de vivre .!" une certaine philosophie. c'est incomparable avec un autre véhicule. ..

I love the 2 cv, it's my favorite car! I just love the unique looks, the air cooled 2 pot sound and the fine ride. DON'T EVER SELL IT, you will regret it! Congratulations and tks very much for the upload!

I wouldn't want to own one, but fun video. People forget what old motors were like. I was once overtaken by a 2CV when out in my old Landy, the look on the drivers face as he found a vehicle that was actually slower! Nice video, thanks for sharing.

I like Citroens. I've never driven one or been in one, but I like them all the same. I definitely want to own one someday.

Thanks for the ride. Like many people, I've heard of the 2CV, and I've heard the 2CV, but I've never seen the inside of one, let alone gone for a ride inside one.

Start up sound is just so satisfying.

I'm in love with the sound and the smell of these! What I'm not in love with is that I did got one, but the engine was dead. Three mecanicians saw it and no one could start it after changing oil, setting carburators and that sort of things. So I sold it. The chassis was very damaged too. I'm planning to get another one when I could afford the works on it. (Because oldtimers cost a lot to GET and USE!)

i love 2cv's so much, they are just brilliant little cars, im 17 and going through my driving lessons right now but whenever i can i am on the hunt for one if i pass my test lol

The best car in the world!

Thank you for that. It conveys the feel and sound (alas not the smell) of a 2CV perfectly. And lovely to see someone driving normally and sensibly. I was going to ask you where it was filmed, as it looks beautiful, but I see that has been answered already. Thank you again. I am happy for you: a lovely car and a beautiful place to be. Bon chance!

A few years ago my daddy had a Dyane6 that it sounded the same like this 2cv... When I hear one of these cars I cry a lot that i can't drive that car :-)... IT'S MARVELLOUS THAT I CAN HEAR THAT SOUND FOREVER :-)

Those are absolutely the coolest litle cars! I'd really like to have one--I saw so many of them when I ws in Germany near the French border in Zweibrücken around 1970-1971.

I love the first seconds of the video! That's the 2cv unique suspension!

Thanks for showing your dashboard. I saw one when I was little. It seemed that everything in the interior was metal tubes, like a race car has inside.

Most beautiful sound petrol can make. And for the record, 2cv is just about the most reliable car you can own. I would love to have another.

Good car and wonderful sound!!

Muy buen vídeo. Me encanta el sonido del motor del 2cv.

looks like it was fimed near Gordes, France? I own one myself bought new in 1986, a 2CV6 example, and I still enjoy it as on the 1st day. Pretty simple, no superfluous gadget and quite reliable. Imho, one of the smartest cars ever (clever, I mean).

My dad has 4 2cvs in a row: blue one, modified racing dark blue one , a dun up white 6 special (grid changed to normal) and a red one I grew up with till I was 4.

Unique and beautiful car, nice driving 😊👍

Yap, that's the famous Citreon suspension. I did not have to slow down at all when going over speed bumps. Although I did feels like my shoulder was about to touch the ground when I make a sharp turn. Old cars can be a money pits. No one said it's cheap to be cool.

You are exactly right. I forgot about the choke. If you look at my other video, you will see that I almost stalled until I remembered to to shut it off.

OMG ...Iam just crying...this sounds remembers the 2cvs's grandfather who passed away 3 months ago

Very nice video. I'm from Argentina, here its a 3CV. Search videos.

Also what's the deal with all the "learn to drive" stuff, comments on seating position etc? I really can't see it. The extreme off-centre camera position (the one thing that I might have changed if I could, though it would probably need a wide-angle lens fitted) makes it difficult to properly judge these things anyway, but the driver always seemed sufficiently in control, got out and back into a very tight parking area, didn't hit the walls or the single other vehicle that came the other way, stopped at the stop sign, didn't excessively ride the clutch (considering it's a low powered engine that loves to rev, and the transmission has a secondary centrifugal clutch beyond the driver-controlled one anyway), and didn't appear to be driving it whilst doing a handstand with his legs hanging out of the opened top...

You are welcome. And thank you for your feedback.

They are fun to drive and cool to look at.

the song of 2cv is very good :) :) I 16 years old

Bravo,bravo !!

I like the noise of the 2CV engine

@308Sport Thank you for sharing that.

Talent Is An Asset

Wunderfull car

cool vidio mate, & lovely wee car wish you the best of luck. I had one the same colour too, the sorry'est thing i've done was let it go.

we had to sell our dyane6 because we really didn't have money, and i'm STILL sorry, after at least 15 years! d best car! it sings, it don't make engine noises!

Unfortunately on this occasion you have been unsuccessful. Feel free to attempt your driving test another time. Can I get out now?

There was no 625cc engine on Citroen 2CV : only 375, 425, 435 and 602cc ;-) If you decide to buy one (it can be easely found in France) dont hesitate to contact me : I can help you.

この車のシフト操作、コラムマニュアル操作と同じくらい格好良さを感じる。

Il est pas trop nerveux le papy! On a tout de même l'impression d'y être.

j'adore cette vidéo !!! génial

je me rappelle de cette vidéo et oui ...14 ans

Fantastic drive ! :-)

Your right - no power steering. It was not too bad, becaus the steering wheel was big and the car was light.

@arthurnatra thank you! unfortunately, then we didn't have an option, but if i could get a new one i'd get it! very cheap to drive and me, and they last, oh do they last! it really get under one's skin. thank you for the video!

I have really enjoyed my 1965 2cv, but am now ready to sell. USA health issues.

Hey, your good driver. I must admit, with my car having a choke also, the first few minutes are a bit clunky. Yet you are very smooth :)

The fact that it's fuel efficient also helps.

Great video, thank you.

Hey, thanks for the ride. You are riding 3rd gear with too much high clutch. Shift to 2nd and throttle thru on the strait - aways. You will save your clutch, and the carb.

@Samthebam4044 It was the attachment for GPS.

No offence, but have you driven a 2cv before?

@MrMoterKid If you are looking for "cool" factor - nothing beats it. It I was your age and knows my way around cars, this would be my top choice.

Cool vid.

Must not forget the 125/135 wide tyres.

@peter455sd It was in Provence, France. Near the town of Gordes.

@plecmen Thanks. I wish I had a micra when I was 20. ( that wasin the last century)

when you start, you are doing like a pilot is preparting his helicopter for starting...

@Blurredman Thanks. You are right. The choke can be tricky. In my other video the car almost stalled because I forgot to open the choke at about 1:15.

@mellotrongirl I actually don't think there was a heater in this car. These are pretty minimalist vehicles.

good car to cross desert. or for rally...can take any road. like old saab

Just now found this video. Do you still have the car? I am here in America and haven’t ridden in one of those since I was a child.

But it's exists some kits to improve the engine, and rise up the cubic to 652cc or a bit more, some was equiped with the Visa 652cc engine (nicasil alu cylinder, much better ,34hp, more torque and less consumption) but it's a bit more complicated...

5:12 the drive to destroy the bearings on the shaft. gear is too high.

@bluemoondiadochi Sorry that you sold your car. I wish I had one myself. But this was a rental. It was great fun to drive.

I get the idea the driver is not used to driving a 2cv. Still, great environment for a ride :)

una macchina stupenda e divertente

génial

@MrMoterKid Remember that when you drive a 2CV, you are essentially driving a motorcycle. It does not provide ANY crash protection. So install safety belts and drive like an old lady from Pasadena (American way of saying driving overcautiously and slow). Personally I though about wearing a helmet when I drove the car. But that would be TOO weird even for me. Just be careful and protect your mellon. We are all obligated to use our brain (Asperger or not) to do something good for humanity.

2:18 later "hey im finally out of the drive way" what it musta been like back then

Thanks

Owner looking for ignition hole.. :D

@Samthebam4044 Thanks for the comments. I think one has to have a non-serious attitude to really enjoy a 2cv.

I agree with you on that.

@Thanvamaharath Khawp jai lai lai I hope you fix your 2cv soon and get to drive it. Do you think you can make a video of it and load it on youtube?

@GTLmovie Thanks

@beeh38 The clutch was released.

No powerstearing, but I can use 1 finger to stear my car trough the city, It's really not bad with a light car like the 2cv :D... Oke bye bye gotta go drive now after watching this ^^

調子良さそう✨

Good eye. It was Gorde

@Sabalero666 Hola Che, Que Honda?. Mil Gracias. I would love to visit Argentina someday, hopefully drive around in a 3cv.

AND IT STARTS!!!!!! quick dial 999 i feel ill!

Glacias Chino Tuerto

whats that thing stuck on the windscreen? The Wiper attachment and whats the wire dangling about coming from? cheers

@Andrisbeautiful Uráli nyelvek szép, kivéve ha kevesen értik.

No way this has power steering? You must be pretty strong to turn the wheel like that.

6.5 L per 100km is it a 602cc right ?

@leneanderthalien

average on roads yes

I was hoping to get one of these as my first car, preferably a red one, would you say they would make good first cars? I have looked up the insurance and it is very low, but are they easy to drive?

el tipo no le pega mucho a la conduccion xD grande citroneta!!

@LOGOMIHA спасибо

C'est drôle comme voiture!

ASMR sound

Citro 2cv rulez :)

By the way, how is the heat in one of these little cars? I would imagine they'd be a little drafty. Do they have decent little heaters? I live in a cold climate.

Get one with the 625cc and you can actually get it to 70mph and get on the motorway with everyone else, as long as you dont take yourself seriously while drivin one I'd have one for a laugh anyday, brilliant car, you are as someone said essentially drivin a car with a bike engine, and the extra weight does take its tole on performance, makes a wee engine sound too.

エンジン音懐かしい…
