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.

[@Marcsauto]

I totally agree

[@geoffoakland]

I love my DS5 for long journeys, no hydropnematic suspension, but comfortable nonetheless 😊

[@cecebellie]

then you clearly haven't been in more premium brands like mercedes. mercedes makes the most comfortable cars in the world.

[@Joe-gi6sg]

I recently bought a citroen c3 aircross 2022 and oh man for the price the car is amazing, i could not believe how comfortable it is for its price class.

[@VraelFreorhe]

Not the most confortable but easily as confortable as a Bentley or à Rolls Royes for a fraction of the price

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.

[@scuffediceposeidon9178]

I also like the C6 because of its design and attitude. Not your average European car like every audi or bmw

I love this car. The only thing Citroën neglected, was creating a sport version to compete with the Audi S4, BMW M5 etc. Can you imagine a C6 RS, twin turbo V6!!🤩😛

[@florisrodermond9025]

[@IvanRomić-u4y]

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.

[@darek4488]

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.

[@Marcsauto]

It's true théâtre the V8 diesel of the BMW must be really something. However in terms of comfort you will have a very different feeling in the C6, everything is very soft and smooth While in the BMW you have a feeling of rigidity and precison instead

[@darek4488]

@@Marcsauto Is the C6 stable at high speed? How fast can you go comfortably with a slight side wind? Does it behave differently with more people and more luggage?

[@onelyone6976]

@@darek4488considering he had over 200 in the speedo once, it does indicate the car would be quite stable. The suspension is also self-leveling so in theory everyday driving and comfort wouldn’t be affected with weight. These actually also have an adjustable spoiler in the back for added stability

[@Dausti]

You should get this engine remapped. Can easily take up to 290-310bhp and is a beast with improved fuel economy. I have the same in C5. Couldn't find a C6 3.0 in the UK, so had to compromise. Also add an accelerator assist and that removes the dead spot when you accelerate out of junctions etc. Nice relaxing video! 👍

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.

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!

Imaginez cette voiture, qui est entièrement aérodynamique, avec un excellent coefficient aérodynamique, autour de 0,26, surtout si la suspension est réglée au plus bas, ce doit être un véritable avion sur la piste!!
