 Mert Topel.'s recommendation | |
Magnificent road holding and comfort. Magnificent interior and exterior design. Very nice torque. Self centering hydraulic assisted steering wheel.
Bulky for city traffic, rust problems, once you drive it you can enjoy driving nothing else.
Allright, this is a classic. It shouldn't be compared with the German panzers or Swedish trucks listed somewhere here. This one has a style. Citroen used to move people with a style in those years. But they were defeated to harsh economic realities of the market and today the market is left to powerful panzers and trucks only. This thing, along with the DS, GS and SM of the very same company is a flying carpet an "engineering wonderland". Actually floating on nitrogene filled suspension spheres ,caresing it's passengers in very comfortable seats in an extremely futuristic design inside. It is impossible not to feel something special while you are riding in one of these. The rotary speedometer and tachometer, self centering ( at stop or in the move ) power steering, variable power assistance to steering, well known adjustable ride height to name very few.
The 2400cc engine is a dinosaur in 2003 but it is very trusty and troublefree. I wish Citroen could survive to build new versions but the XM did not fill the CX's shoes. I wish that the C6 would.
A very well maintained CX will be the most remarkable executive car among all those German all Swedish bricks that are designed in some PC automobile design software. It is a timeless classic and shows it's owners admire and passion to design beauty aesthetics in general.
Could be bought at a price of a pair of good leather shoes today and spending some 20 times of that amount will make you own a remarkable one.
A rare beauty!
