Lol at like driving in a cave!

I guess I can see what you mean, it's very dark inside (certainly with the black leather) when you have the roofblinds shut. But with them open on a sunny day it's great, and at night it feels 'cocooned'.

I got another DS5 last week - a Dsport model with the 2litre HDI lump in it. Very similar to my last (sadly written off) DS5, except it now has xenon headlights that turn with the steering and the head up display.

I always wanted the xenons, but thought the HUD was a bit of a gimmick. Having driven over 1000 miles in the last week I actually find it really useful - it project in colour onto a little clear screen on the top of the dashboard - and covers speed / cruise control settings / sat nav instructions on it.

Means you can keep your eye on the road more of the time - which can only be a good thing. From a childish perspective it also looks cool when you switch the car on and the HUD screen motorises up from the top of the dash.
