Rear seat comfort

[bob_h]

Hi - I am considering a DS HSE 110KW. Have had a short test drive, and reasonably impressed from the driver's seat but would like some feedback about rear seat comfort. We are looking for something for long distance touring 4 up, so rear seat comfort is an important factor.

The legroom looks good particularly with sliding seats but how is airflow? I have read that the flow through the b-pillar vents is weak, and it can be difficult to bring the temperature down on a hot day. Any relevant feedback much appreciated.

I've not had a problem with it being too hot in the back. True the flow thru the B pillar vents isn't particularly strong, but there are also vents under the front seats, and the centre console vents can be directed down the middle. I don't have the pano roof though (can't see the sense in having that in Australia!) and I do have the LR window blinds in the back which I thoroughly recommend to keep direct sunlight out. There is also a "max aircon" button on the climate control system which is good at cooling the car down when you first get in on a hot day.

I have the pano roof on my DS. Heat was coming through the roof even when the blind was closed.. so I have got it tinted which has helped a lot.
