Citroën DS5 (2012 - 2015) 2.0 HDi DStyle 5d (2012/62) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I like to be different. I find the german makes to be so boring to look at and to sit inside. No design flair what so ever! The DS5 is brilliantly designed. Fantastic to look at both inside and out.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They love the styling. Alot of people dont even know what it is? It looks very good in black.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes. Love everything about it. It is very well put together, and hopefully will be reliable in the long term.

What are you likely to buy next?

Another DS5 if it is reliable in the three / four years that I have it.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£17,000

When did you buy the car?

October 2013

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes, it was cheap for its age and mileage.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Wanted something different from the mainstream boring looking cars, ie, german.

What was the dealer like?

Very good. Motorpoint in Derby.

What's it like to drive?

Good. Very relaxing to drive. So quiet when sat inside. Cannot tell it is a diesel. I dont really take it down twisty roads so cannot comment, but for motorways it is an excellent cruiser!

What's it like to park?

Good. Rear parking camera makes it easy to park. Cannot see the front of the car, but that seems to be the same with most modern cars.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Not as yet, although not had it long!

What's most practical about your car?

Everything! It is quiet, smooth, fast when needed. Very relaxing drive. The interior is excellent. A very nice place to be!

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The three roof blinds, my 3 yr old also loves seeing the through the glass roof! The rear parking camera also makes manouvering it much easier.
