Citroen C6 test drive since 2006 hatchback

Test drive in Russia: Citroen C6

 
How big you are! I thought when I finally saw him close, but you are beautiful! I immediately decided, watching it gracefully floats out of the twilight of the salon garage and the light glare glides along its gray brilliant side. Yes, a car of almost five -meter length it really looks impressive!
 
In fact, the appearance of Citroen C6 may seem controversial (it seems like a hefty hatchback-overgrown, although this is actually a sedan), but you can’t refuse it inherent in all representatives of this brand of elegance. If you look at him in the FAS, then the fara eyes seem small on a wide face, however, the profile shows that they are not so small. In the outlines of the body there is something swift, leading to thoughts about the flight honestly, when I began to photograph C6, I also wanted to call him a liner.
 
The main advantage of the Citroen C6 interior is its capacity. The car is really spacious, and a large amount of cargo will fit in the trunk. Citroen positions the C6 model as a business class car and it really fits this definition. For the convenience of passengers, a lot has been done: spacious boxes in the doors with lids trimmed under wood, armrests, separate regulation of the climate system for the rear passengers, the unusual design of the cup holders on the front dashboard when necessary, they move out from the sides, two at once. The car also has a Bluetooth interface for a mobile phone. The navigation system is equipped with a color screen. Another curious fiche is a light indication on the windshield, which replaces the dashboard Head Up Display (I, honestly, did not even immediately understand that the numbers glow before my eyes!).
 
There is a detail that delivers some inconvenience: well, why such a large car has such small rear -view mirrors? Honestly, they should be larger and wider!
 
Like C5, C6 has an infrared system of monitoring the observance of trajectory. She begins to shake the driver's seat if the car takes aside. In addition to this, the C6 device has ESP, active head restraints, headlights set to move with the light on in daylight hours, and a safety pillow for the knees of the driver. The basic equipment also includes the front and rear parking sensors (which really helped in parking lots with such rather big dimensions without it, it would be difficult!), Bixenon headlights, rain sensor, electromechanical handbrake. With model C5, he is also related by a pneumatic suspension, adjustable in height, if necessary, this business class car will pass through the primer and on a broken road and will make it rarely smoothly, taking on the whole shaking (verified!).
 
When the Citroen C6 and I drove to the highway, I was surprised that such a heavy car was so easily controlled by the car instantly obeyed gas and responded to the steering wheel turns. True, the steering wheel seemed somehow very light, the feedback was almost absent, either so conceived, or something did not work so. The automatic box slowed down only at the start after the speed was gaining, the switching became more adequate. Moreover, I took a fine all the time to get a fine for exceeding the fact that in Citroen C6 the speed is not felt almost in any way, you just fly smoothly along the road and relish only when the value of the numbers on the windshield becomes three -digit pleasure from comfortable movement at good speed. Hi-Fi-Audiosystem from JBL with 10 speakers.
 
Somewhere on the Internet, I read that Citroen C6 is compared with a limousine. I will allow myself to express my disagreement: limousines (for the most part) long, clumsy and not particularly comfortable inside the machine. When, like Citroen C6, with all its dimensions, it does not cause special problems in maneuvering, and it is extremely pleasant to be in its salon. I can admit that when it was time to say goodbye to this large car, I realized that I didn’t really want to go out of the steering wheel and that I could drive it for more than one hundred kilometers and would definitely not be tired!
Male look. Vasily, 21:
His silhouette attracts his views with his rather unusual with a mowing and a rounded back with lamp lamps. The salon of impressive sizes, the seats are comfortable. I liked the presence of various shelves and pockets for the little things, as well as large pockets (in each of which climbs a bottle of 1.5 l) in all doors covered with wood inserts.
Good controllability is achieved due to the hydropneumatic suspension of Hydractive 3 (the same as on Citroen C5). The dynamics of a car with a 2.7 diesel engine is not bad, but it will not work to anneal very much either.
Citroen C6 also has such a lotion as a tracking system for road markings: a vibrator is built into the driver's seat that, when the road lines involuntarily intersects, begins to hammer you in the back place. Sensations, you know, not pleasant! But what a concern for security!
