2016 DS DS 5 2.0 AUTOMATIC 180bhp "Prestige" LEATHER Sat Nav €200 road tax

Regarded as one of the finest looking and best performing cars Citroen have ever produced, the now stand alone DS 5 has dropped the Citroen badge and reinvented itself with a premium new image. It looks great from the outside and has a wonderfully luxurious cabin. Everything inside feels and looks quality and upmarket; standard equipment is excellent across the board and there are some brilliant engines. Space in the rear of the cabin is good and you will carry four adults and a child (middle of back row). The sunroofs comprise of a large one for the rear passengers and two small ones for the driver and front passenger. The DS5 handles as well as it looks. It feels really well planted on corners thanks to the excellent chassis. There’s hardly any body-roll, and the ride quality is supple and smooth on the move.
