Very nice review but as all car journalists you are obsessed with the fact that DS4 shares parts with Peugeots and Vauxhalls... However nobody mentions that an Audi is basically a Skoda or a Seat
Totally agree. But I used to have a Vauxhall Astra'19 Elite Nav Turbo and I really loved it as a car for a single person, the engine was very nice as it was the comfort of the car. So, it's not a particularly bad thing and I feel like it's all about brand snobbism... I'm thinking of getting either DS4 or Volvo XC40 or the new Vauxhall Grandland plug-in hybrid - they represent much better value and come fully-loaded compared to German brands.
My DS4 comes next week I’m looking forward to driving it, I’ve not had any test drives or even seen the car physically but the style Caught my eye and the reviews all seem to be very positive! Here’s to hoping it lives up to its reputation!
@@rivervalegroup Thank you, your review was excellent by far the most informative I’ve seen on the DS4 online! I’ve opted for the Trocadero EAT8 model in pearl crystal as I couldn’t get the lacquered grey unfortunately! Thank you for the review all the best 🙂
I’m 5’10” tall and with the driver’s seat set for me, I literally couldn’t fit in the back seat! I would hasten to add that I actually like to sit relatively near to the wheel so I hadn’t set the driver’s seat too far back!
Liked the looks , phev plug in version with total 225hp seemed the one to have with adapted suspension and a sunroof . At first , I had 2 sacrifices v my older petrol SUV , the driving height and a little cr😢amped in back seat space, BUT THEN i thiught about the plug in and petrol costs , 1 have two 90 mile trips pw . The other 4 days from 5: to 30miles pday with 1 day undriven , Financially initial cost of car and excess road tax yr 2 onwards is a extra annual expense. NOW back to mpg . I don't believe over a year that in my case I will save the planet or have a dEcent enough saving in fuel costs v a standard 1.2 petrol only rivoli or trocadero which is 300 kilo lighter . Won't have adaptive suspension included with top spec but will gain a slightly bigger boot space. Price wise new 10 k less . Used 22 plate low milage about 8k less . Just sayin
Electrical cars are a scam. Had ds4 hybrid for 2 days in tenerife no charging points anywhere. Could not charge, going on petrol only without battery not economical. Never again... It's a shame because the car interior and extetior looks were nice
This channel should have many more views.
It's brilliant
Many thanks for watching and your kind words, Carlos!
Concur wholly.

Why is the Peugeot 308 in the description?
Cut and paste error there!
Same platform at the end of the day

If you charge it nightly at home then you could drive it to work and back on electricity only.
Why did you hire a Hybrid without charging points? How far did you travel in two days - it's not a big island...
