Citroën DS4 a class act

WE could keep you here all day banging on about how Citroën has developed so many technologies and combined that with the sort of design élan which is all too uncommon within the broader automotive industry across so many decades.

Sadly, we could also bang on at length about how Citroën backed itself into a corner in terms of its sales reach by virtue of the fact that once a customer bought one, he or she was effectively married to the brand for ever more. It was next to impossible to find any dealer other than those within the Citroën network who would take one as a trade-in.

But that is all in the past, hopefully and Citroën is now in a much better place than has been the case down the years. This week I drove a new car from the company that astonished me.
