What is it? DS have completely broken away from the Citroen stable and have produced a new facelift DS 4 to celebrate. The DS 4 comes in two body types, the regular hatchback and the Crossback which enters crossover territory.
Who is it aimed at? The DS 4 still struggles to make an impact into the family market due to some quirky styling, the diesels are extremely economical making it a great choice for a company car or someone who does lots of mileage.
What about the Styling? Distancing itself further away from the styling of the Citroen C4, DS have revamped the front end with their own Avant-garde design. The headlights and 'DS wings' incorporate a smart looking grille and the LED daytime running lights add to its new face. The DS 4 has plenty of aesthetic appeal with dramatic lines leading across many of its panels and the rear doors fitting in perfectly with the 'coupe' like design. The ride height has also been lowered, before the DS 4 sat ridiculously high for a hatchback.
And inside? The interior is well put together and pretty simple to master, the new 7" touch screen system is the same used in the Citroen's and Peugeot's but now includes Apple CarPlay as standard. The touchscreen isn't the most responsive and the Sat Nav can be difficult to use. I found the DS 4 fairly comfortable and if you add the Watch-strap leather interior then it gives it a more luxurious feel. Space up front is good, although the steering wheel feels too big and the glovebox has very limited space. Entry into the rear is hampered by a small opening due to its styling and the rear windows still don't go down, but on the plus side there is a large boot space.
On the road? The DS 4 has a great engine and gearbox combination whether you go for the petrol or diesel options, the ride height is now at a sensible level from the previous model but it is still not as composed as it could be. Pot holes and typically poorly maintained Irish roads produce all kinds of issues and the DS 4 feels only really at home on smooth motorways. The 19" alloys don't help either with ride comfort, the Crossback on the other hand does produce a slightly less 'crashy' drive.
How about Safety? The previous DS 4 received the full five stars for its Euro NCAP tests so expect the same from this model, six airbags and ISOFIX child seat mounts come as standard. Blind Spot Monitoring and Lane departure technology is also available but costs extra.
What are my Options? Already highly specified cars, the DS 4 has limited extra options. Reversing camera, Front parking sensors and Blind spot monitoring system costs €1,100 while if you yearn for better sound quality a Denon HiFi system will set you back €670.
Will it break the bank? The 1.2 Puretech petrol emits just 119g/km of CO2 and has a combined mpg of 55.4. The diesels are more frugal, the 2.0 litre diesel with 148 bhp manages a combined figure of 72.4mpg and emissions of 103 g/km of CO2 so annual motor tax is just €190. Prices for the new DS 4 start from €26,995, our press car was priced at €34,995.
So the verdict? It still remains to be seen whether people can start to differentiate the DS brand from Citroen, with the styling changes to the front and DS badging abundant it shouldn't be too long. The DS 4 has a sleek appearance and proportions are good but this does impinge on practicality. This impracticality makes it a niche product and one that doesn't appeal to a large market, especially families who would find rear seat entry too small. This is a step in the right direction and with the strength of engines available it is a good car too drive, but it still feels just a little too unsettled on the road and is not on a par with rivals.

New abstract paintings by California artist/environmentalist capture power and mystery of natural world.
Many years ago I visited a magical place in northern California called the Occidental Arts & Ecology Center.

Spotted this one the other day on Quality Peoples. It's the trailer for Glass Love, a 2006 surf movie directed by Andrew Kidman, featuring Cat Power doing her beautiful, plodding version of Velvet Underground's "I Found A Reason". Along with Cowboy Junkies' rendition of "Sweet Jane", it's surely one of the best VU covers of all time, and pairs perfectly with Kidman's mellow longboard......read more

Stone Creek Camp by Andersson Wise Architects: A green-roofed getaway in the Montana wilderness.
Long before sustainable design hit the mainstream, Austin-based architects Andersson Wise earned a reputation for creating low footprint buildings that borrow design cues — and materials — from the sites on which they're built. Stone Creek Camp, a rustic wilderness retreat on the picturesque shores of Montana's Flathead Lake, is a case in point. The central building on the property,......read more

During the consultation period, a total of 131 feedback form responses were received regarding this proposal. Of these responses, and in relation to the idea of installing a RV wastewater disposal point, 60% (78 people) indicated they were in support, 39% (51 people) were opposed and 2% (2 people) were neutral. In relation to the idea of providing asphalted parking space to allow for stays of up to 48 hours, 57% (75 people) were supportive of this, 40% (53 people) were opposed and 2% (3 people) were neutral. Three written submissions were also received regarding this proposal.
At its meeting on Tuesday 8 December 2020, Council considered the feedback received from the community and made the decision that an alternative site, to the one proposed adjacent to the Modbury Bowling Club, be investigated for the establishment of a recreational vehicle parking and wastewater disposal point in the City of Tea Tree Gully.
Council report (notice, agenda and community engagement outcomes report) and minutes - see 8 December meeting links
We invited the community to provide feedback on both the ideas below. Please consider each idea as a separate service for self-contained Recreational Vehicles- there could be provision of one service without the other. We would like feedback on each idea. There is opportunity in the feedback form to comment on the combination of RV services.
Installing a Recreational Vehicle Waste Water Disposal Point at the Modbury Bowling Club's eastern car park
Providing new, asphalted large parking spaces to allow for stays of up to 48 hours, by self-contained Recreational Vehicles in an area south-east of Modbury Bowling Club
At its meeting on 9 June 2020, Council approved in principle the idea of installing a Recreational Vehicle Waste Water Disposal point (RVWWDP) at Modbury Bowling Club's eastern carpark. Notice of Motion Recreational Vehicles and Minutes pg 628 of this Motion
In 2016 Council conducted a location feasibility study and met with Modbury Sporting Hub stakeholders. A proposed location at Modbury Bowling Club (MBC) was nominated for the idea of a RVWWDP however the regulation by SA Water that the RVWWDP be attended during the hours of use and that RV user's details be documented in a log book could not be met. The newly appointed Manager of the MBC can now fulfil these requirements.
In October 2019, Council commissioned the Deloitte report entitled "A Vision for a Prosperous City" which refers to tourism as being of significant potential for growth in the City of Tea Tree Gully(CTTG).
Leisure and fitness facilities in the Modbury Sporting Hub include bowls, tennis, an oval, Waterworld (swimming and leisure) and a skate-park. Other local services close to MBC include shopping centres and O-Bahn access to Adelaide.
The City of Tea Tree Gully has no waste water dump point facilities available for Recreational Vehicles. The Campervan & Motorhome Club of Australia in conjunction with KEA campers offer provision of a Gough Plastics Dump-Ezy dump point unit to CTTG, should essential criteria of the proposed site be met.
Section 198(2) of the Local Government Act states that an amendment to the Community Land Management Plan (CLMP) requires community consultation. Should the ideas be progressed by Council resulting in changes to the Modbury Sports Area, Ridgehaven, this CLMP would require amendment. Progression of the ideas would also require separate development (planning) approvals under the Development Act. The Category Three public notification process would require Council to notify the community of the proposed development and provide you with the opportunity to view/review the plans of what is proposed, determine how the development will affect you and provide an opportunity to lodge a representation raising any concerns.
Council reports and associated attachments are available in the 'Documents' section.
