Mat, I like your back-to-basic reviews as I think they can help make your mind up on narrowing down your alternatives when buying a new car. Quite often it is the little things in a car design which can put you off buying the car, things like no normal buttons for operating how warm or cold the car is; a bonkers trend!
@adagio1980 Жыл бұрын
Car reviewers often complain about the missing buttons for temperature. What I don't understand is who's adjusting the temperature all the time? I set it when I get the car, and then I pretty much never touch it again. Why would I want 21 degrees today and 22 tomorrow?

I would like to argue that padel shifter in road cars should always be fitted to the steering column because when you are trying to manually shift while having the wheel upside down it's impossible to do it fast. Learning to do it would be an option but then you could argue to just learn to use messy infotainment system. I get the argument that Matt pointed out in the video which is very much true in cars that don't need steering inputs that would cause the wheel to be upside down and you having the need to shift. For example on racing track.

Hello friends, I come from China and have driven various models from nearly 40 different brands, such as Mercedes, Audi, BMW, Mustang, and so on. However, I have always cherished a DS5. The sound insulation effect, sound system, and driving experience of this car are shocking. It can be said that it is a French Rolls Royce with French characteristics and affordable prices. I drive an SX version of the Citroen ZX on my daily commute, Although it is a 20-year-old car, the driving experience is impressive.😊😊

The handling it good at illegal speeds and brakes are brembo... Really nice car and I was pleasantly surprised for the futures and I love ventilation seats and huge roof....

Over the decades the Citroën 'tradition' / 'heritage' has been steadily diluted. In more recent years, the famous marque has been pushed towards the background in favour of the ephemeral 'DS' brand which is a dressed-up Peugeot i.e. more 'luxury' and gadgets. In short, pure marketing, even to the extent of nonsensically invoking the DS as inspiration.

It's also too bad that there is no HUD, like on the DS4, and the rear seats aren't heated, but the rear A/C controls kind of make up for that last one.

DS is really struggling outside France. Old DS 7 generation was plagued with issues : water in tail lights (which helped coining the "aquarium lights" term), rear train suspension, uneven tire wear... It was also said that it epitomized luxury "à la française". But with its abundance of chrome and flashy design, it didn't felt very French to me (or in the way Madame Lulu brothel would have been). The new one that I drive tested when I was picking my new car has a more sober style and the DS Veil DRLs are a nice trick. However ergonomics and certain design gimmicks are hard to live with (including the "cobra" shifting stick which does not feel or look very premium and is still a reminder of Madame Lulu's business) . PHEV which is the only way to pack enough power to move this SUV goes with firmer suspension that can get pretty unconfortable with the bigger wheels. This does not fit the supposed refined ride of a DS. In the end, when you look at the financial side of things, for a long term business lease, the DS7 gets pricier than its rivals.

Apart from a leaky tail light now after 4th year, everything else - not a problem almost 155k on the clock, and apart from regular service everything is like from factory. No chronicle tire wear that plagues forums etc, and i have friends who also bought theirs seeing mine, guess what , they don't have issues either. Thats 5 of 5 cars that i know off that have no problems. Issue is we all hear on internet when someone has a problem and keeps looking for answers , but rest of the bunch just don't get on-line and brags how got it is - they continue enjoying their car. Btw DS isn't really struggling at all. Just DS brand is not available everywhere yet. Even in Serbia, there is no dealer, yet I imported new one from Italy -because i liked it and wanted to do it. Except for some specific parts - everything You need can be done at any PSA dealer/service.

@@idimidodjimi6760 Well first of all, I am delighted that you're happy with your DS7, the info I gave is just feedback from one of the main forum from DS drivers in France (mainly PHEV version for related rear train issues). And yes DS is struggling as their main market was china and they are free falling over there. They are still strong in France (and do sell well as company cars) . The feedback I gave on business lease and ride quality are based on my personal experience

@@nicolascounio9906 Ok but how pricier its a premium product with a lot of stuff really for that price , but at a size of a class that is bigger than it actually competes in. It holds it price much better than its rivals, second hand market especially is filled with used ones and Q5's are literally the same price at it is. I dunno i think You were typically shafted in UK for anything that isn't German (maybe You are not from UK but remark still stands from previous experiences) or its something else. Personally i like having a gear leaver - buttons or some small tiny shaft seems ridiculous , and useless for me especially when You are reversing , or changing back to forward , You need to look down and find the bloody thing while the gear leaver comes instinctively and even blinded You can always feel for it.

@@idimidodjimi6760 No I am not English, and I do not drive a German car. My "brand" loyalty goes where my rental budget (for my company car) and my specific needs are (one of them is the proximity of a dealership to deal with the maintenance) . The end result, I drive a Japanese made company car (with all the amenities I wanted) and own a 2009 Panda 4x4... Both of them have a real "gear" selector . I am also not a big fan with "button" shifting system

Try to improve your knowledge. Citroën and DS are 2 totally different things. Their sales network are separate and distinct. DS is a luxury branch of Stellantis. They are manufactured both in France and in China, in a Stellantis plant. For information, China is the first car market in the world.
