Why the comparison? Well the Outlander PHEV was the only other car on my final shortlist. Conceptually I was all in favour. But we had one for an all-day test drive and were so underwhelmed that we called in and ordered the DS on the way back from dropping off the PHEV.
And my "loan" car this week whilst they still tinker with mine (GOK what's taking so long, the snag list wasn't THAT long) is... an Outlander PHEV.
So an extended/repeated chance to compare.
I'm here to tell you - it's no comparison.
Driving the EV is interesting. But the damn thing is made of bits of tin and plastic. And if you thought the satnav on the DS is not up to scratch, try this one for a while! (Can't do "north = up" for one very big thing.)
If you get one as a company car coz of the tax bands be happy, it's a good drive and you can fit tall kids in, but would I spend £40k of my own hard-earned on it? Not on you rnelly...
