2013 Citroen DS3 1.6 turbo diesel from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Great looks
Faults:
Nothing.
General Comments:
The car looks great and is comfortable to drive. It's smooth and as quick as I need it to be. The MPG is between 58 and 74.
The standard ICE is not bad; even playing through the Bluetooth, the sound quality is good.
Don't bother with the built in sat nav; a TomTom is far superior.
It comes with 3 years free servicing, otherwise I would do it myself.
The leather interior seems to be of decent quality.
The steering is nice and light. The handling is superb. The trade off is a hardish ride over bad road surfaces, which is not the car's fault.
The only two things I would change are more lumbar support in the driver's seat, and the Citroen/Peugeot obsession with the ridiculous high clutch bite, which you can overcome with extra mats.
Mine is a DSport Plus, and I would recommend spending the extra over the more basic models.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
