Driving a No8

I had the opportunity to test drive a DS N8 and was very impressed.

It was really easy to drive and had the expected DS niceties, the car was a 230hp etoile so had many of the same gadgets as my DS7 and I’m quite tempted to get one. :grin:

What was the biggest difference to the DS7, according to you?
The interior feels a bit too spartan for me, but that aligns well with many other modern cars today.

Jay, I get what you mean about the sparse interior but it has all the knobs and buttons needed I felt. The general feel of the cabin for me is really great, the drive was good but not the same spirited acceleration as my eTence 300 as the demo was the 230 and noticeably slower. Over all I liked the No8 and would consider one in the future but I do like my DS7 as it does everything I need it to do plus my wonderful wife prefers the higher stance of the DS7.

Generally, the No8 isn’t my style. The interior is too glamorous. It was the same when I looked at the DS4 with a white interior before buying the Performance version with black Alcantara.

Like you I have the performance version with black alcantara which is very nice, I had full leather in my last DS which was a 155 sport line with all the toys and was a pain in the hotter months and cold in the winter.

They’re announcing a Black Edition, and this interior is closer to what I expected. Even though black isn’t my interior color.
