I must have had 30 friends, family and colleagues sit in the back over the last 18 months ...some short journeys some long...still waiting for a negative comment.
Outside of this forum, I'm also still waiting for someone to say how ugly it is ...I only get gushing compliments.

Is there a word similar to “Penis Envy” for those who don’t have a D5 as there seems to be a lot about.

Are you suggesting that the D5 looks like a very large penis TD? 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: 2 x FL2 as “second” cars 🙄

I did with my first D3. Just pulled up at a site in the New Forest and a bloke came straight up to me and said that’s one ugly car He was driving a Jeep I do think it is a common view that the D5s looks aren’t it’s fortune and the chances of someone walking up to you and expressing that view is remote. At the end of the day who gives a if you like it.DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

actually I did get some good remarks about the D5 yesterday - stopped at a car parts place for some bits for my daughters car, and 2 of the chaps were outside - both said its the first time they had looked at a D5 close up, and both said they thought it looked much better than - in their words - the boxy old D4.
I checked and neither had white sticks or a guide dog

^^ never used that site - is it a bit, "mines bigger than yours type of thing" ??
Lets just say life never stands still, things move on - I wasnt sold on the D3 (postman Pat's van was how my missus refered to a red one we saw) when it came out after having Disco TD5's - went on to have 2 D3's and 2 D4's - now on D5 - lets just say that there is an awful lot that is better in the D5, but obviously not to everyones taste, and leave it at that shall we?
