Yes what went wrong they only produce boring Euroboxes now
Admittedly I've not driven a very modern citroen, but I've driven an old 205 which was nice to drive, albeit a bit rattly and plasticy, then I saw it had done 300,000 miles, so a few loose bits of trim are forgivable for a cheapish car. My ex Mrs had a 306 diesel estate, which again was great to drive and a very good car. OK, neither are particularly pretty, and certainly not a DS nor traction avant, but well made, and nice to drive - and some quite expensive posh modern cars aren't particularly nice to drive - a similar vintage (then brand new) BMW 3 series was horrid to drive, despite them puffing the driving experience as part of the sales flim-flam.
Never driven a DS, but a mate's got one - must get a lift in it at some point
