The engine sound is FANTASTIC - I cannot believe that it’s a V6 (they usually, to my ear, sound like bolts in a washing machine or artificially autonomous “engines;” I guess it’s the spell of the Italian’s that can make a V6 actually sing - Garcia, Maserati! ❤

Citroen should of changed the steering rack gearing to make it less sensitive. I know people say you get used to it. You shouldn't have to. Probably lost alot of sales because of that. Scared alot of people off.

normally the ones i knew that had this car ,they never complain about any problem with it ,i at the time had already bought two cars and when this was available for sale i couldn´t aford it but later when looking for one in second hand i couldn´t find one for sale , so the problems with it ,i´m not aware of them , just remenber driving one and feeling it was better than most of the confortable cars at the time that were the DS ,rolls royce or mercedes , cadillac also but doesn´t count due to their gasoline comsumption ,if there were a cadilac turbo-diesel i would have bought one, mercedes didn´t release any form of the C1 (the sportive model ,that in some time they were discussing of releasing it with a turbo diesel engine ,but it never came out none of them just available to be seen in auto-shows as the classic that never was)this still remains as one of the cars that got away, there were other confortable cars but none with the quality of the ones i refer

Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo de la 405 Mi 16. Le son du moteur qui monte à l'infini dans les tours est addictif... La première fois que j'ai vu une Mi16 c'était à la sortie de Bourges à un feu rouge. Je me souviendrais toujours du son du 16 soupapes à l'accélération au feu vert, Wouahhh !!! Un plaisir pour les oreilles de passionnés...

The engineering on this car is truly alien and, if you're uninitiated, it really does feel like you're piloting a spaceship. The combination of the brake button, super quick, self centering Diravi steering and hydropnuematic suspension ensures the SM drives like nothing else. Glad you enjoyed the videos!

My Dad always wanted one of these, although he only got as far as a baby powder blue Dyane 6 - although that was also quite a quirky funky car in its own right. Love the design from the body shape to the interior & those dials! Citroen really were really distinctive design & engineering pioneers during this era 👌
@autosnob
@autosnob 10 ай бұрын
Ahhh, the Dyane 6 is like a slightly more luxurious 2CV. I would love to own one! Citroen was an engineering driven company in the 50s, 60s and 70s, and its innovative design and features unfortunately did not translate into healthy profits. Peugeot ended up acquiring 90% of the company in 1976 but it was too late to reverse the quirky and lovely CX, perhaps the last of the great Citroens.

Adjusting the ride height? Yes, it’s controlled by a lever on the floor beside the driver’s seat.
@silkdestroyer
@silkdestroyer 10 ай бұрын
It can, but you would only ever want to if there was a minor flood to cross or some rough ground, in which case you would select the highest setting. And, while in that position, there is no suspension travel, so it would be slow speed only. You wouldn't drive it in any position except for the normal driving one.
@autosnob
@autosnob 10 ай бұрын
As other pointed out, it's an on-the-fly adjustment by simply moving the lever into 1 of 5 positions at the base of the seat. Positions 2 - 4 can be used for normal driving.

How in hell did that Citroën made it to the States! O_O Man, you surely have great taste. Look at that design, and those big green globes for the hydropneumatic suspension!

Thank you for the kind words. This Citroen was in fact a US model - as evidenced by the US headlights and front clip - and is 100% legal. Citroen stopped selling cars in the US in 1973 due to the height adjustable suspension which couldn't meet fixed bumper height regulations.
