Next ds3 model, what would you like?

[tch]

Fix Thp issues
Make the back seats actually fold flat.
Closer ratios for the gear box, its geared soooo long.
Get rid of the center arm rest, whoever thought that it was useful should be shot; Can't use the hand brake, and puts your arm in a stupid position to change gears, and is just in the way if you have it in the upright position.

Pffftt what a bunch of moanie minnies

Here's my list;
I want machines guns fitted to the outside to deal with traffic.
An Ejector seat on the passenger side so if any one starts to annoy me.... whoosh!!
The radio controls to be electrified so it shocks passengers who try to adjust the stereo without consent.
Glow in the dark paint, because its cool.
Forget cupholders, I what a fold away TV dinner table for eating my chippie off.
Full rally and tiara lights so I can blind those motherf*****s who insist on fitting HID's at night.
A trip computer like a KITT 2000.
A triangle shaped steering wheel, circles are sooooo last season.
50" alloys with spinners and chrome and diamonds and bling and deep dished.
DRL's to be shaped like huge fangs to scare the crap out of people at night.
When the doors open a sound like Star Trek to be heard.

And to pay for all this- lets drop the sales commission for the salespeople, or increase the targets of the Dealers
With all these modifications DS3s will fly out :-)

Dealers? Why bother with dealers! Big vending machines is the way to go!!

Other than the people who want it to arrive from the factory ready to hit the race track most of the suggestions wouldn't necessarily cost a lot more, would just be a case of rejigging what the car already has to improve on it. No ones has suggested fully independent rear suspension...or a dual clutch gearbox...yet. Most of what's been highlighted is an easy fix if you're releasing a new car.

It would be nice if the most common suggestions could make it back to Citroen. I'm assuming they listen to their existing customers when planning the next marque?

[THP]

There needs to be more wheel options. I love the Bellones but a car that shouts about personalisation needs more available.

The non-satnav displays desperately need an update. The orange is too dated.

The long-running joke of DRLs on all the time does actually need to be made. It's not difficult or expensive.

One of the things I would like is a Digital Speed Counter, my Picasso had one and I do miss it, as it is so much easier/safer/quicker to see what you are doing.

Looking at all the technology in the rest of the range I wouldn't be surprised if this does appear in the next generation of DS3's.

If it does I hope it's in addition to a normal speedo. The Cactus has a digital speedo and I didn't like it at all, it de-cluttered the dial area but it just felt wrong.

But of course !

1. Cup holders and more storage in general. Compare how Skoda do this on the new Fabia to how Citroen do it on the DS3.
2. Vastly improved Bluetooth system - this is currently dreadful from an ease of use p.o.v. I suspect this would be improved if Citroen used the new systems from the Cactus or that seen in the 208.
3. I actually think keep the cruise control stuff on the stalk - much more natural and you only need to move a finger, rather than your whole hand as you do when controls are mounted on the steering wheel.
4. Better/more interior lights.
5. Wider sun visors
6. One-touch passenger window
7. Better access to rear seats (or just a lever that feels less flimsy)
8. Dial-based climate control similar to VW group models, rather than buttons that you have to press constantly to get your desired temp/fan speed. Turning a dial is far quicker.
9. Similar to the point above, all heating controls should light up in the dark regardless of whether you're using them - currently you can't see to turn them on!

Otherwise it's great, but I always think there's something to be improved no matter how much you enjoy your car

I'd agree if there wasn't an identical stalk on the other side of the wheel with all the stereo controls on. Also it's possible to operate well designed steering wheel controls with your thumb only while the stalks force you to take your hand off the wheel to switch between cruise/speed limiter for example. My main gripe would be if the DS3 is not the only car you drive it has about what 10 buttons that are entirely out of sight.

When my OH first picked the car up I took her through what everything all did, she used them for one trip then stopped as she doesn't like either having to stick her head behind the wheel to get the right button or randomly stabbing at buttons until she gets the right effect. She just uses the buttons on the stereo and never uses the cruise or speed limiter. When I drive it I do but because I use it some weekends and my daily drive has the buttons the otherway round I'll find myself changing the stereo not the cruise, and vice versa. Personal preference but I feel as though there are too many invisible buttons, and the identical stalks give no clue as to which one you are using.

[RedTechno]

Very little to be honest, don't like all that distracting touch screen nonsense or thousands of buttons on the steering wheel. Don't see the need for myriad cup holders and the like, never seen the point.

DAB radio would be good, hi fi speaker system as standard, puddle lights when the doors open, height adjustable passenger seat, lumbar adjustment in both front seats, both plip keys colour coded and not naked ( :lemon: ), proper glove box that at least can fit the manuals, better interior lights, one shot passenger window ( both switches ).

All trivia really.
