Citroen C6 test drive since 2006 hatchback
Quintessence of style
The ghost of the great past For those few days that I rode in Moscow on C6 with French (!) Numbers and without intelligible documents, they never slowed me down the traffic cops, they only in a motionless bewilderment escorted an elegant five -meter cigar. The car of the ambassador of the French Republic? Swayed under the cap. But the girls came up to me several times and, with difficulty inventing an occasion to get acquainted, squeezed out: sorry, how to go to a new arbat? Or: What is the time? Maybe they hoped to leave for Paris, the subject of their dreams, or maybe, however, were not local ... but they left the phone! One of the ladies turned out to be a real Frenchwoman and was clearly not concerned about the search for the prince. She was just patriotically delighted with a new flagship. Kes Ce? Xie SIS? Parfe!
Even if you turn on the disk with Joe Dassen not at all volume, you will begin to look at the world around the pink glasses everything pacifies, the aggressive driving style is forgotten. Or through the green lenses of the wizard of the Emerald City: Paskudnikovo will seem Chasefish! This is facilitated by two -layer glass (!) And extraordinary smoothness. The hydropneumatics of the brand horse, its mass use by the Citroenovites began decades earlier than others. True, there is its own specifics: in general, the machine is steadily floating over the road, but small flareds are strictly shaken by the body. Smoothness is also ensured by the amazing uniformity of acceleration. Slightly dumped start does not allow Citroen to jerk forward so that the heads of the riders are fucking
headrests. But then the set of gas becomes more vigorous and vigorous, like an electric locomotive. And the programs of the 6-speed automatic transmission are crossed by exception quickly and without jerks. If you arrange a competition, who earlier reaches the finish line so that the glass of water put on a torpedo does not spill, C6 has all the chances of winning. And also these qualities of the machine will be useful to those who are motionless on the way. 
Here, of course, there are a lot of extraordinary technical and design solutions that you can’t list. For example, an active rear spoiler from 65 to 125 km/h above the trunk is increasingly vertically rises a metal strip, pressing the rear axle C6 to the road. And with sharp rebuilding through the markings stripes, the drum will knock on the fifth point through the pillow, warning about the danger of maneuver! But in ergonomics there are more questions than answers. The back is super -industrial, the chairs are adjusted by the inclination of the back with simultaneous extension of the pillow. But the front places are not too tired. The pillow rides up and down only with a change in the angle of inclination. Using the servo drive buttons is extremely inconvenient. And the heating wheel adjustment wheel is in the blind area. Well, you want a paradoxical French character!

DESIGN A great example of the desire to develop past traditions of a well -recognized and vivid style of Citroen. Thanks to the proprietary emblem, a pair of chevrons on the radiator cladding, supplemented by a pair of moldings and the flagship moved from more compact models looks their own, but seems too wide. On the side, all lines also work on a visual increase, but already length. The window of the windows is beautiful and spectacularly completed by two ruby \u200b\u200bkeel of the rear lights. Somewhat similar were decorated with cadillacs at the turn of the 40s and 50s ... But the concave rear window returns everything to its place for sure the 21st century. Opening the door to get into the car, one cannot fail to notice the lack of door frames and the grace of door boxes trimmed under a tree. Inside, everything is not like everyone else, but stylish and beautiful. The instrument panel is fashionably three -story, and the design of the steering wheel very successfully works on the addition of a plastic topic: at least look at the rounded outline of the bottom of the central console. Upper class!
ZIGZAG
Double chevron with a large width and verbal headlights looks very imperative.
The quality of the levers
and the button was quite dubious from the cheap models of the PSA concern.
TRUNK
with a narrow and short opening, I fell in a victim of design.
