  • Road Test: Citroen C6 (2006-)
    Executive by: Farah AlKhalisi

    4CAR RATING:

    Assets
    Distinctive exterior styling, Citroen heritage, quiet and smooth ride, very French feel

    Drawbacks
    Very expensive for a Citroen; dull cabin design, some quality shortcuts, overlight steering, wallowing suspension. If you're determined not to buy German, the Lexus GS and Jaguar S-Type are similarly priced.

    Verdict
    It's not a keen driver's car by any stretch of the imagination, with fit and finish some way off the class leaders: but the C6 has both charm and character. You're going to have to really fall in love with it to justify such an investment, however.

    On sale
    Spring 2006

    Prices and versions
    Expected to start from £29,500 and go up to £38,500, although UK specs and prices to be firmed up nearer on-sale date
