The review seems sensibly put but leaves the buyer with a few things to find out on their own. Like what year and models had variator issues.
The stand out thing is that the duo-select has been correctly attributed as an enthusiast's choice.
Most reviewers slate the DS which is a bit unjust given it provided such a unique character to the QP. ZFs are great and there are many good cars with ZFs.
But for me, a QP DS ticks the Xfactor box.

+++ DS

Autos are nice but that's it. Nice.

DS is as near as you'd get to an F1 car without spending £100k+ on the public highway, ok a bit OTT but the heritage is there, it's clunky and weirdly hesitant when cold but ultimately rewarding.

And there's also the live and love fear of impending doom to factor in, much like watching football in the 70's/80's, the footy was great, but always with the risk of getting your head kicked in, the fear factor adds to the experience although if you apply logic, it shouldn't....

Walking up Croft Lane back of the Great Lever End at Burnden Park, Bolton 1979, never knowing if there'd be a massive ruck on Manny Road, and if there wasn't - the relief, and if there was, get stuck in and take the punishment. Heady days!!

Now going to footy is sanitised, like a Nissan Leaf, stuff that....
