Thoughts on Citroen DS3...

Glad citroen hasnt forgotten how to make a good hot hatch. Some of the touches on that video look really nice, for a hot hatch at least.

Never driven a 205 GTI, S1 106 Rallye, 306 Rallye, Clio Williams, Clio 172 Cup, Clio 182 Trophy, Megane R26 etc then have you.

They are all gokarts though, not real cars.

I've had a play with a 205 GTI and sure it sticks to the corners like glue bit it's not what I want out of a car, neither are any of the others you suggested.

I've had bad experiences with French cars in the past and as a result, will never consider buying one ever again.

Why did Citroen deliberately add that stupid piece of superfluous metal flange around the B pillar?????

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHH!!!!!!!!

I certainly like it, it's definitely a head turner. It would look better with duel or a center exit exhaust and without the orange colour coding.

It's sodding vile, and knowing Citroen it'll break.

I'll pass, thanks.

The chap in the video advert is the same one from the vodka advert.

I like the car btw. Other than the orange and bronze styling.

I really like it, if they did the DS-R without all the bleedin' decals I would like it even more so!

They probably do? It won't have to be exactly like the one in the pic above :rolleyes:

Fr0dders · 17 Mar 2010 at 11:24

they're aiming it at the mini

you'll probably have several pages of different decals you can apply.

i do like it, its unique to most of the cars that are churned out today... bit hefty on the price but give it a couple of years and you should have a very reasonable 2nd car on your hands..

Seen a red one with white wheels.

I like it, but staticly the B pillar looks a bit odd, on the move you dont notice it so much.

I'd give it a test drive but wouldn't own one. Reliability aside, I would just have that feeling in the back of my head that they would compromise some parts and find some of the parts used from a C2 or something. Meh.

...or from a C3 even.
