not really, just more prone to break downs. That said, the only reason none of these features are common now is gov regulation. even before this 70s Citroen cars had such features as far back as the 40s.
those little gadgets were cool . but in reality for that time they were quite bad in terms of durability , thats why some of these features didn't end up going into more cars , make those pieces better raise the costs and the cars need to be affordable , but some of these features like the lights and the height regulation system are quite common in modern cars
@@NikoMoraKamu Durability has nothing to do with it. A few quirks of this car might require a specialist to repair in timely manner, but it is repairable and the engine and transmission can outrun any modern car in mileage and then just get an overhaul while in a new car you can't overhaul because oversized parts are not available. Some of the worst cars of the decades past are far more durable than almost any new car, and outside dealership that charges insane prices, you often can't do much repairs in new cars because even parts as basic as a battery need to be programmed into ECU using brand's specialised software and access codes, so if your battery is failing and you just replace it like you used to, the ECU will start disabling features and systems in the car.

We had the adjustable ride height on our 2003 and 2008 Citroens - you raise it up to go through water or over very rough road surface, and you drop it down to help load heavy bulky things into the back. On both models they automatically reset to normal ride height once you went past around 20mph

that steering wheel is timeless
Back about 1972, I got to sit in an SM. It was in the showroom of a Citroen dealer in Webster Groves, MO. I was stunned by the features, the carpet padding was about an inch thick.
Citroen kept that Air Suspension for years after. I remember as a kid my parents viewing a Citroen and 8year old me was mesmerized with that function!
50 years old and dripping in technology 👍🇬🇧
Здорово!!! Низкий поклон тем, кто сохранил в таком состоянии этот автомобиль.
That parking brake sound was pure ASMR 😍
Right?!
This Citroën model has a V6 Maserati engine. Such a cool car!
Citroen SM ❤
They literally built a Space mechine 50 years before in the name of Car😮
Never thought I’d compliment a Citroen but WOW I love it.
Шикарная машина вот умели же делать вещи на века ❤
Citroen was ahead of its time. Way ahead.
These days Citroën makes garbage, like all other Stellantis brands.
You mean all brands... No exception.
@@MeadeJ67 personally, I feel that Lexus/Toyota is still a good brand. Honda/Acura is ok too.
God that is fucking beautiful with all the metal interior components. Wish we could get back to this kind of auto manufacturing.
The feature of headlights is awesome nice wish today's cars have that feature though
A true gem to any real car buff.
Цитрлмон топчик... Но сложно было ремонтировать, опередили время....
Новый С5 космос. Плохо что у нас не продают..
И предыдущий тоже хорош
Посмотри DS7 он тоже космос
The license plates and the framed windows are my favourite details of this car
Citroen DS was one of the smoothest rides ever made.
Этож Ситроен ! Луи Д'Фюнэс гонял на таком с Фантомасом 😂
Вроде более поздний ситроен
😅😅😅
@@dn1317 Citroen SM, built from 1970 til 1975.
О да, помню эти крылья из-под днища, когда фантомас сбежал от погони, А Луи де Фюнес(комиссар Жюв) его упустил😅.
Луи Де Фюнес гонял на DS-9. А в ролике SM.
Let’s not forget that if you got a flat in a Citroen, the suspension could raise any one tire/rim off the ground and drive on 3 wheels. Truly a spectacular vehicle, just wish they looked liked the rest of the cars from the 50’s but still cool nonetheless
No it couldn't rise one wheel, but you could rise the car to maximum position and than it was somewhat stabil and it only was possible with rear wheels.
@@lucyferek rise it, put a stand under a corner and lower it
@@fuzzy1dk yes normal procedure for changing wheel on every hydraulic Citroën, still there is no such thing as one wheel lifting, how I know? I repair Citroëns for over 30 years now, I had my share of old Citroëns. You can check my channel, there are movies of my Riviera in my garage Citroen Special....
@@fuzzy1dk yes i know that, but still there was no such a feature as rising one wheel. How I know that, i am Citroën mechanic for over 30years now, you can check my garage Citroën Special.
Вот это действительно ОПЦИИ, а не просто прилепленный монитор и новая менюшка с свистоперделками в салоне
At 30 y.o I owned 3 Citroën DS. I Still miss them.
Just like when the countries were racing to the moon. The manufacturers were racing to be the best. Now everyone just has matching features.
Respectfully, one takes NASA seriously anymore because they admitted that space is fake and that they never landed on the moon. “Space may be the final frontier but it’s made in a Hollywood basement.” ❤
Love old cars, period.
This car is still ahead of its time.
In the 1990's in London, I bought a second-hand Citroën Familiale (cx?), lovely ride!
