Perfect, And in just about the best colour combo going (although I did once see one with tabacco tan leather which was even better, but searching....very rare), will definately consider one when I need a 5 door car with space.

Yes I really liked the look of the tan leather - and its probably more practical, too. I haven't ever seen one in that colour, but would like to see it on a white painted car, bet that would look nice, too...

P.s I seem to be averaging about 500 miles per tank (though I haven't gone so far so that the last section flashes) so I think it will do around 550 miles to empty, which isn't bad!

Reading this thread with interest as I think the C6 is a stunning bit of automotive design. I would get one in white if I could (always liked white cars - not just this 'fad' thing at the moment...)

A Dutch auto magazine road tested a white one and its on youtube. Enjoy (if you speak Dutch that is a bonus!)

Thanks for the link - I had seen it before actually, I think I watched every single clip and read every review of this car when it came out, and have wanted one for so long I even bought a picturebook, full catalogue and even a handbook to read through a long time ago!! What a geek!

Cheers

Not sure about white, but a supremely cool car either way.

I absolutely LOVE C6s!

One day I want a black one, they are French Ganster chic.

Thanks :0)

Just cruised up the M40 in it, cruise control at 65, interior lights in 'blackout' mode, chilled tunes on the JBL stereo and not a sound from the wind or the road... just beautiful.

I think (hope) once the 197 has been paid off next year I'll be looking to switch to a 2-car option. 1 wafter and 1 for fun.

And I really could see myself liking a C6 for the wafting.smile

Just stumbled in here (by accident!). The C6 is my guilty pleasure.
Great to see someone running and enjoying it. Absolutely stunning!

Thanks for posting those photos of the gorgeous white car hiscocks.......'car porn' biggrin (I won't tell the wife...).

Still have not seen a white one on the UK roads (although I have seen one over in France in Toulouse - stunning on the road). In fact, have not seen many C6's at all (three I think in about a year...).

No probs... I love this car and now I have really settled in to it, got my seat right and had time to enjoy a couple of long road trips in it. I was planning on driving to Sorrento in it this week but the plan fell through... next month, maybe!

Cheers

Thanks! Terms like 'Tank' and 'Barge' suit it really well!! It should come with a ship's wheel!

What sort of fuel economy are you getting? Any problems / niggles so far?

Sorry for the questions, but I'm really liking these at present!
