I noticed many of you guys are long time owners of the C5....

Have any of you had any urges to swap to a C6 ? I know several have made the swap, but are no longer around in this section to ask why they did so, and I don't feel like popping into other sections where I am out of place

One guy I did chat to, who I bought my discs and pads from after he made the change said the difference between the 2 cars was immense, far greater than he ever thought.

For me, it's simply the cost that stops me I guess. Although they have come down to around £20-23k for a good one, well looked after, it's still a bit rich for me. I also didn't like the look of them to start with. Arches didn't appear flared, aggressive enough, but the more I see them, the more they grow on me.

I've just spent 4 days in the peak district with mine and it was a great experience ! Perfect car for the job and I have never seen so many 6's in an area ! They were everywhere ! At least a couple each day crossed my path, but I was the only C5

And an average of 19.6mpg for the entire 600+ mile trip, I was fairly impressed !

So thoughts on the C6 ? Anyone driven them and can give more of an insight on the differences ? Worth starting to save for ?

Discuss....

nothing looks better than a well done c5 rs6! i could move up to a c6 but id rather just update the mine as for some strange reason i love it

It's because they're fugly.

The V10 sounds appeal to me but they just aren’t that special to look at. Now the C7 on the other hand...

As above.

I rejected my 5 coz of issues. Had the 6 for 7 years now, no issues really...and still love it.

C5 - looks and sound = awesome. C6 - more modern, IMO a better car all round and no where near as fragile.

Should you change? IMO yes...stage 2 it = 750bhp/1000nm which is ALWAYS nice to experience.

I love the 5...but a 6 is a step in the right direction (aka a 7 ).

Other than a well sorted, black with same optics 'loon, I'm just not feeling the C6...not much road presence IMO. Way, way less problematic than the C5 agreed (wish the 6 speed 'box would fit mine ) but I'm thinking it'll be a hop over to the C7 next for me.

Unless you get an oil leak...

The S6 C6 looks better than the RS6 IMO. I'd have one of those if the thought that there was a model above it didn't irritate me so much.

/edit: but one of the ones with the engine that doesn't Hari Kari.

Got to admit, it's the black on black that I have seen that is tempting me more and more !

Seems ones with the oil leak issues and cooler pipes sorted with 750+bhp and more reliability are getting cheaper and cheaper, it's making it kind of tempting.

I currently drive mine daily and other than the initial visit to MRC for the map and all the niggly issues sorting out, I haven't really spent a great deal on it (Let's forget fuel)

But at the back of my mind is always the thought of something big going to go. I don't hear so many issues with the C6 and I don't fancy the idea of paying the costs of a decent C6 just to keep the C5 on the road, somehow that doesn't seem the clever thing to do ?

I'll likely hold onto the C5 in all honesty, just talking out loud to people that listen, my girlfriend just nods occasionally and pretends haha !

C7 next for me when my pension matures but will keep the C5 as i love it.

C5 I'm going to keep forever. I have the saloon so the newer estates aren't appealing at all.

Is that an RS6 though? Looks like the arches are different.

/maybe it’s the camera angle.

//think the loons look better than the Avants.

Loons ftw

Too low.

We’ve missed you.
