DS 5 (2012 - 2018)
Blue HDi DSport 180
Concept car that was actually made
Having owned mine for nearly 3 years now and still love everything about. The cabin is the best bit, like a cockpit and never mind spending hours in traffic. I can see myself owning this car for many years.
I moved from a Mercedes E Class and was going to buy another one when I saw the DS5 with auto.
Build quality is up there with German brands, auto is as good as Mercedes and average about 50mpg doing 12,000 - 15,000mls a year.
The niggles
The French have still not mastered electric windows, I have replaced 2 regulators, front driver and passenger. Drivers is on the way out again so try not to use it. Not expensive but annoying.
Ride can be crashy and firm over rough roads (18in wheels) Stay away from firm sidewall tyres as this will only make it worse. I am on my second set of Goodyear Eagle F1's and the best tyres I have had on any car.
Replaced the following in the last 3 years after 115,000mls
1. Drop links
2. Balljoint
3. Timing belt + water pump
4. 2 x Window regulators
Have never regretted buying it
