I'm pretty sure in the sales brochure it says drums on the dsport, mines definitely got discs though!

DSign, DStyle = Drums
DSport, Ultra = Discs all round.

DStyle plus appears to have 4 discs, at least our 2014 e-hdi 90 has.

Hmm, forgot that Citroen introduced discs during 2014 as a model year update.

If only they updated their online information and configurator to be accurate...

Mine seems to stop pretty well on front disks and rear drums.
Is there that much of a difference as I would have thought most of the "stopping" was on the front anyway?
In my biking days the rear brakes were only ever used in "oh shit" moments

Only real difference would be if you were doing extended braking, such as going down a huge hill (and had not put the engine in a lower gear) or thrashing the hell out of it on a track day.
Then the drums would heat up quite a bit - and not be able to dissipate the heat as well as a disk would.
Not really anything to worry about under normal use.

Required brake pedal force for drums/disk when they're not (glowing red from hooning) should be mostly the same.
Oh and with drums, you probably don't have to clean the brake dust off the rims nearly as often.

Drums remind me of my first ever car - the Morris Marina, I just can't shake that connection now
