Hi All,

The C5 Aircross shares a lot of tech with the DS7 - but the DS7 is massively expensive IMO for what it offers - and to be honest, owners here have been less than impressed with the DS7 with a lot of issues on new vehicles.

Have a scroll through the DS Forum for a few examples:

It's going to be the same old story - new vehicles - crammed with technology and lots of bugs to work out, so expect grief Kenny.

Thanks Marc, as I expected.

On top of that, you'd need 6 months at the 'I'm the numpty that designed that interface University' to work through the 500 + pages of the car manual to work out how to put the heating on.

Totally over complicated IMO and I'm a techie!

I've driven a lot of cars of the years and latterly working for a BMW dealership driven all their marquees. There a lot of similarities between all car markers in the design and use of tech.
I must agree with you on the manual, ridiculously long winded.
Good for a bedtime read!!

In my experience most owners never read the manual, I've had customers five years into ownership who had no idea how to operate the heater in their car.

And they end up asking here - but fair play - it can be very hard to locate the info in these manuals, due to the terminology used 'active park assist', 'driver attention monitoring', 'DS connected Pilot', 'DS active scan suspension', 'DS ACTIVE LED VISION' etc.,
