An absolute joie de vivre as we say in France. 🤩 The Citroën C6 is an absolute state of the art.

I really enjoyed your video, listening to someone driving the C6 for the first time.
I have had my C6 for two years in Scotland, and my Dutch wife loves it.

Brilliant video! I must say i am a suspect, because also have a c6...like Rens, i consider it to be a true piece of art design. Thats the main reason i bought a year ago. when you drive this car, you only think how to enjoy life and the ride...its supernatural...relaxing...a pleasure. The ideal compagnion to go for a picknick, or to the beach...or just showing to others, look how elegant i am... cheers!greetings from Spain/Portugal...

I like this style, it's authentic and personal

[open-minded-oldie]

A very enjoyable way to talk about this fine Citroen C6. If i can mention that the suspension raising button makes changing a flat tyre much, much easier. I think another bonus of the laminated side windows is security.

[mtnick]

What a great interview! I really enjoyed the discussions you had about the car but also about what makes you prefer certain types of cars and in particular this one. True cars & coffee spirit :)

[stephenberry]

Love the Citroen C6. A fusion of the CX & SM. Grande style. The last true Citroen.
The French seduction and comfort v the German Efficiency and harshness.

I enjoyed your video very much, especially as I have a C6 in Australia. I would agree that while many of the engineering aspects of the car have a unique quality which I enjoy, [most of the time], the lines of the car is an object of art is what keeps me attracted to it.Cheers John

Lovely car
Lovely Chanel
Came home just today from a week in Nijmegen in our Range Rover L322.
The roads there are gorgeous big or small, so smooth and make a car with good suspension all the better.
Thanks for sharing

C6 has always been the car I've wanted but sense has always won. Now I'm in the position to buy one as a hobby to my everyday Jaguar. Just got to find a good one!

[Bowwow]

Hey Rens, wat cool! Hahaha, de Mercedes S-Klass. Had ie je even mooi tuk.

[jacquesmichel]

Wonderful interview in a great futuristic car. Citroens are pieces of art Vive Monsieur André Citroën .🇫🇷🇫🇷👍🥸❤️

[themodernnavigator]

DS / SM / C6 / DS5 are pieces of Modern Art!

[flipperMAN]

G'day I have C5 X7 Tourer with the same 2.7 HDI. Both the C6 and my 2.7 are rare in Australia. The suspension is not "Air" but nitrogen other than that i enjoyed the video. .. Cheers

[mainiotaainetta]

The owner is so classy. People in netherlands are so tall, lucky bastards.

[marcbrasse]

Imagine being turned away at Heavens gate and asking Saint Peter why, argumenting: "I was a lawyer you know!". So Saint Peter turns around mumbling: "Exactly!"

[knutarneaakra]

Sold mine some years ago still regret and miss her😢

[maartenc]

This is a nice video. And I can understand why you drive a citroen C6.
I drive the same car on a daily basis and love it every day. First of all. Get the Michelin tires they make the sound and the suspension of the car so much better.
I drive a 2.7 HDi and all though the engine is great, it makes it an expensive car here in the Netherlands.
The main reason why I bought a C6. Just watch Top gear


Driving is not about speed but about comfort.
I would love to invite you for ride in my car, but that would be another C6 movie.

[Broomehall]

I'd buy one tomorrow if only I could find a 3.0 HDi example ! virtually impossible here in UK.

[hubertwalter]

Has anyone ever had the problem of the double glass on the side windows becoming cloudy? probably an expensive thing as used windows are rare.
