Just noticed the DS4 is already up on the motability site and you can even get a THP200 through motability if you are willing to pay a £3,145 deposit! DS3 DSport is a bargain on motability if you want a small car though. The 150THP has a rather tiny deposit of £395. Or Dsport Plus is £595 |

Apart from the DS logo on the steering wheel and two-colour seats, it's a nouvelle C4. And yes, why on earth didn't Citroën retain the big central speedo and the fixed steering hub - key features of the C4? |

Was at my dealership today for the test drive, D-Style ( Mid range of the 3) HDi 110 6spd manual. Very nice driving car but way to small inside, with the smallest rear window I've ever seen, tiny.. Felt like a coupe version of the Nouvelle C4. Was so looking forward to it aswell. I'll just have to set my sights now on the DS 5, which I was told is going to be AWD. Roll on next summer. |

Lots of DS4's for sale on Autotrader now. Looks like dealers selling off the demonstrators. | ||||

Went and had a look at one today. Was talking to the guy in the service department about it and he was saying he didn't like it either. Also the rear doors he was saying the shape of them you pretty much hit yourself in the chest everytime you open it. I was a bit curious so he took me over to show me. Due to the shape of the door the window bit sticks out at the back and due to the way you have to open them with those door handles it is quite awkward. Everyone has the same conclusion though, it's way too high. It just looks like a normal car that has had off road suspension fitted. Would love to see it on coilovers. |

See that has improved the look massively. In person that would make it look squat and chunky. Things a sporty looking car should be! It shouldn't however look like it is on stilts. All I can say is whoever thought the suspension ride height was a good idea needs firing. |

Well it's not Oz yet but so far I don't like it! Would like to take a DS3 DSport for a spin though since we won't get the DS3R here This just doesnt look special at all, not like VTS | ||||

I really like the Dark Chrome Signature option on the DS4. Ideal for those who hate chrome! Here's another lowered image, this time with the Dark Chrome Signature: |

Yep, about time they offered something like that. I am not a chrome fan. | ||||

There's chrome on my black nouvelle C4, and it's not quite right though it does draw attention to the key lines. | ||||
