My Mums thinking of getting one. she loves the looks and has been offered a lovely spec one with low mileage with a massive discount. Im normally not one for Citroens but I think a large amount of the depreciation will have been dealt with and she plans to keep this car indefinitely anyway. Its very stylish and Ive read a few of the reviews about the ride. But Does anyone here one own and offer some ownership perspective?

thanks

I saw a white Sport last night, very nice looking car inside and out, but it's a Citreon, so not sure about how well it's made. 70 mpg, nice looking, relatively good price what is not to like if it drives well and is reliable. So I'd be interested to hear from any experiences too.

I've had a quick drive of one and it was a excellent car, I was very surprised in fact!

I have a DS5 at the moment

I have had about 4 of them over the last 50k - not a single fault or any reason to return to a dealer.

The diesels are superb, the cabin is fabulous. The auto box is good, the Manual is even better.

I havnt had a hybrid but I have driven one. I would recommend a decent test drive to make sure you like the ride, its a little firm due to the weight of the batteries, but I liked it.
Glass roof sections are good feature. HUD is my favourite thing, shows you the sat nav directions aswell as the speed etc.

Colour - lighter colours show off the glass roof and the design touches better. Darker colours make it look more jelly-mould'ish.

I would buy an ex-demo in a heartbeat.

Anyone who says "but its a citroen" hasnt driven a DS model. Wins all the awards, DS3 better built than Mini. C4Picasso just won What Car & Top Gear best MPV awards........ just tell them to get out of the dark ages and realise how overpriced their BMW/Audi would have to be to reach the same spec
