Good morning guys and gals. I would like to get back into the fold, used to have 2005 Super charged. I would like help on what spec to look for or nice things to have? I have £60k approx and dont want a diesel!! looking at 2017 onwards, wife likes the glass roof. Can you help me build a spec please? Citroen C6

Trev500,

I think that only you and your wife can decide which specification you would like. You have a choice of P300, P400 and V8 petrol engines. I have a year old P400 HSE which is pretty well equipped. The HSE comes with hi/lo ratios and the dynamic chassis setting. Don't fall for the HSE Dynamic model unless you want loads of black plastic and trim. The car is well equipped and in addition I wanted a glass roof, upgraded sound, heated steering wheel and extra leather. The 3l 400 bhp 6 cylinder motor is tremendous.

all the best

Thumbs up for HUD and if you can Signature Meridian sound system if you can find a used car already specced with it.

Hi,
I am with Tim, decide what you like and look for that, everyone has different priorities including colour choice

I like Ivory interiors, privacy glass, heated steering wheel and a towbar, oh and timed climate would be nice (but not on a petrol?)

would not pay extra for a pan roof or upgraded sound and would not have a black car (white is low on the list as well )

even though they both look when just cleaned,

I did a post abut my first year's ownership experience of a Sport- last paragraph records some of my opinions about what options I found worthwhile.

Member Renaco in Germany is the person to ask, he’s had the diesel hybrid, the p400e and now has a 5.0S/C Autobiography 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

The P400e is not under powered, quite surprising for a 2L petrol but you do need to plug in and charge it to get the benefit, local trips on just electric.

P400e is very lively indeed. Recommended. Not sure what they’re like for £60k, that must be the starting price. For 5.0 2017, you won’t have much choice at £60k, but they’ll generally be a good spec.

I wouldn’t rule out any drivetrain until you have driven it, so try the 3.0 V6 supercharged and the 2.0 4 pot turbo P300 too, just in case. It will broaden your options.

RIP diesel! (For some of us)

In terms of spec, I think extended leather makes the world of difference in a Sport, so I would add that to the list but you may need to make it optional as it may limit your choices too much. L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso
RRS TDV6 HSE Lux (MY2011)... Nara Bronze / Arabica - now gone!

Definitely agree 100%...extended leather makes quite a difference to the interior ambience of the car
