Used ds3 airdream - too many choices

[vizzo]

Sorry - another thread to help me in my buying choices. I'll try to keep everything in this one thread.
I'm looking at second hand 2013 13 models.
Firstly dstyle or dstyle plus. Trying to work out the differences. Specs on autotrader are a little sketchy

From what I've read:

dstyle + has parking sensors
dstyle + has retracting door mirrors
dstyle + has central arm rest

Is that all true?
Anything else?

It seems that 2013 ds3 dstyle+ are about £500-£800 more expensive than the dstyle- working out if it's worth it. any views?

I don't know if the spec has changed since 2013 but all the info about the differences between specs are on the citroen website.

Don't forget some things are added as optional extras so maybe included but not part of the spec if that makes sense?

I have a limited edition dstyle. I paid to have parking sensors put on. Personally I'm not fussed by arm rest or retracting mirrors.

I was tempted by the dsport edition of the one I have but it was over £3k more and wouldn't cost £3k to get the extra bits put on myself.

The "Plus" also has the auto lights and wipers.
Here is a pdf from Bigfeet with all the details:

The difference between the stand and plus version is the City signature pack and Bellone alloys I believe.

The pdf from bigfeet was very helpful. The citroen site seems to just have the current specs as far as I can see, not the 2013 specs which I need.

So to my next question - it says the dstyle+ has "sport suspension".
So presumably the standard dstyle doesn't have it.
I'm mainly interested in comfort rather than "sport suspension" - does that mean it will be a harder ride?

I noticed that the ride was pretty hard to what I was used to when I first got mine , and you do feel every bump on the road. I have got used to it now after a few months but my back was getting really sore at first with a 100 mile or so drive (auld b'stard). The loss of comfort to me is the only negative having this motor, but that's my fault for not test driving it more thoroughly.

For me the ride on mine is firm but not unpleasant, my fiancee's Corsa was lowered by the previous owner and that ride is v hard and a long journey tends to loosen fillings

Mine has sports suspension on it. It's less hard than my focus without it! I just be extra careful for holes or humps in the road

The spec for the DStyle Plus hasn't changed from 2011 expect for the introduction of the Connecting Box late 2013.

Sports suspension is just a shorthand for a slightly firmer ride than the C3 and DStyle's have the same set-up because the 'Plus' is just an option pack, the main difference is between the DSport and the DStyle versions.

Thanks for the info folks. Bought a 2013 dsign+ today in red.
Pick it up next week. 10k on the clock and under £11k - so pleased with that
