You have a DS420? What's that like? I've heard that it's not that good in front where the chauffeur sits (cramped),
Big. Smooth. Gets lots of attention, which can be good and bad. Front seating is very upright, which is fine for me. Biggest problem is heatsoak. I do long drives in it and the insulation is poor so the front gets very hot. I also sit quite close to the windscreen, so the sun shines right on my chest which adds to the warmth. On a drive last summer I brought along a thermometer and the air bleeding out of the defrost vents at the windscreen was 65C, even though the system was set to "cold" and "off". Outside temp was about 25.
Mine has the dual air conditioning, in front and rear compartments, but the front is a joke. Rear is fantastic, I could turn the rear compartment into a meat locker! Completely reworking the AC is one of my winter projects.
Rear is very nice. Lot of legroom, smooth ride, it's a great place to be. I'm rarely there, I'm always driving.
Ouch. I usually sit fairly upright myself, so it might not be too bad, but the heat wouldn't be fun. But it does sound as if the rear is very much the place to be....
