DS5 has flair of a concept car

MY Citroen reviews have followed a pattern, but this week I am reviewing the extraordinary new DS5 and as the company has thrown convention to the wind, so too am I.

Cars used to be easily categorised, particularly the family car segment. The advent of MPV, crossovers and SUVs has muddied the waters so the choice open to punters is seemingly infinite.

Manufacturers are devising new and fiendishly original machines with a singular appeal. The Skoda Superb and the Volkswagen Passat CC (reviewed here last week) are examples of this trend, cars with few competitors.
