A Visit To Citroen DS Showroom Pt.2

HI!  Sorry for not posting the last 2 weeks as I was in Perth, Western Australia having my 2 weeks holiday break!  

I thought this post was scheduled for posting last week and didn't realised I forgot to schedule it!  Anyway, while I checking on the Citroen C5 Aircross, I noticed a very bright red car sitting at the back of the showroom.  The Sales rep pointed out that particular car sitting at the back are the DS models.  DS is the luxury arm of Citroen.  The red one caught my interest as it is similar priced as the CITROEN C5 AirCross.  This beautiful red car here is called the DS7 Crossback.  DS7 and C5 uses the same chassis or platform so they are basically the same car with different skin and interior! 

This red DS7 Crossback is the standard model and the price has dropped from BND$48k to BND$39k.  There is a top spec version called the DS7 Crossback Opera, and that will set you BND$51k.  A price discount for Hari Raya promo from BND59k.

The top spec is the one I am interested in as it has all the bells & whistles.  It has over the standard version a Panaromic roof, 360 camera, Night vision, full leather seats, Focal sound system, massage front seats and best of them all is the B.R.M clock!

A Visit To CITROEN DS Showroom Pt.1

A few weeks ago I was window shopping at Times Square.  Little did I know there was a Citroen DS road show going on there.  I was caught by a very red/orange car on the show floor.  It was this latest Citroen C5 Aircross that was recently launched in Europe back in March!  I was surprised it reached Brunei so soon!

The car is really attractive in my opinion.  I didn't take much time checking it out  as I was with my family.  So I took a quick visit to the Citroen DS showroom at Beribi recently so I can take a closer look at the car.  First thing I asked the friendly salesman was how much it cost OTR.  This car is currently on Raya Promo and you can driveaway for BND$39k+++!  

That is really a great deal!  I am having a serious thought about this car and as many of you know I am currently putting my MINI Countryman S up for sale!

The car has a 1.6turbo (180hp) engine mated to a 6 speed auto transmission.  It is a 2WD model only though and can seat 5 full adults with ease.  Surprising the back seats is big enough to fit me!  I am 6" feet tall and I still have tons of headroom and knee space.  The car came with full LCD instrument cluster and second LCD center console screen.  And it has APPLE Carplay and Andriod Auto too. Interior has a very European design cue and those who loves the new BMW and Mercedes Benz current design will fall in love with the C5 Aircross.

Check out the cool 3D rear lamp design!

Two is better then one LCD

Here are some colors for you to choose

I am really interested in this particular car and hopefully my car will be sold so I can have this beautiful CITROEN in my driveway.

The Day I Sat In A.....Citroen Picasso C4

Today I finally sat in a Citroen.  I always have a soft spot for French car.  They are unique in its own way.  Anyway, as I mentioned early a few of my friends are purchasing a new car.  One of them even brought me along for new car hunting.  We came across this new car from Citroen called PICASSO C4.  It is a MVP with chassis sharing with my previous car, Peugeot 5008.

There is only one spec which is this test car shown here.  It cost about $57000++.  This model is pretty spec-up.  Comes with leather seat, tons of safety feature and my favorite would be the automatic parallel and vertical parking.  Yes I shit you not this car can park itself better that most people because we tried it and it is impressive.

The exterior looks is all up to personal taste.  It has all round LED lightning front and back.  I quite like the exterior look, its funky and yet modern at the same time.  The interior is a whole new ball game. It has two LCD.  One of them is customiseable.  The dash has minimal buttons because they are all touch sensitive or touch screen types.  

That little knob there is for you to put perfume!  Yes I am not kidding.  You can purchase the perfume from the Citroen agent

Citroen has the coolest interior design in my opinion.  If you haven't seen the rest of the models I suggest you visit their showroom.
