Citroen DS4

Looking at the Citroen family range of cars, I can only say that it takes some courage to like the designs coming from this manufacturer. However I've always been a fan of all things quirky and the Citroen DS4 really stood out from it's siblings (Though the DS3 was a very nice introduction to what may be coming for the DS range).

Just take a look at the exterior and it sets hearts afloat! What's there not to like of it? The face looks awesome with the new headlights and the proportion of the car is just right!

Now let's go into the cabin and savour the highly desirable interior. A touch and a light caress of the dashboard and door handle immediately gives a sense of quality material being used.

Moving on, looking at the tempting driver & passenger seats makes 1 want to just buckle themselves in for a real long road trip and never want to leave it's comfortable support. The design and look of the seat is a marvel in itself as it reminds me of a designer's watch bracelet! Material used is so yummy!

As a summary, this car really stands out for it's superb design, inside and outside as well as for having a comfortable ride which should entertain both the driver as well as the passengers for a real long drive!

Admittedly, I like the current styling for Citroen. Every curve & lines seems purposeful :)

What I do not understand is, why the designers had to create such a high & large wheel arch? Then I was told "this is not a hatch. It is in between a SUV & hatch" but it is not a crossover... I'm slightly confused over this...

The French finally got their act together on styling department!

I took the 1.6L(A) for a spin. This is supposed to be turbocharged but I find significant turbo lag which I'm not quite impressed as the car felt somewhat dull to drive. The numbers on 1.6L(M) looks awesome & I'm sure it would be a great driver's car... but I didn't get a chance to drive it :(

Overall, the entire package put up by C&C is all premium but the price is also premium... but what worries most is the reliability & high cost of replacement parts. Otherwise, it's a very good car to own :)
