Has anyone else thought about trading their DS3 for a Cabrio DS3?
There's a Yellow Cabrio with a black roof going for £10,444 round my way. Was tempted by it as I was looking at other DS3's for a backup plan, which won't be happening now . Its a 13 plate im sure. Not sure of engine or trim spec though..
The thing with the Cabrio is that in reality it's not designed to be the everyday day, because of the crop chop (quick way of doing a convertible) there is always going to be a compromise which in this case is the boot access.
If I'm honest there are better options available if you want "wind in your hair" than DS3 Cabrio.
...I should never have doubted the Lord of Bacon!!
The DS3 cabrio does not give the open air experience other cabrios give, as the roof is really no more than an oversized sunroof. It is great being able to operate the roof at moderate speeds (up to 70mph), but I would not buy another - I would opt for a car with a conventional sunroof or a genuine cabrio/convertable. Having said that I still ejoy the DS3 cabrio in many ways. The boot opening being the only pain as you have to select appropriate luggage, although the boot is actually quite a decent size if you need the space (it will fit a folded up wheelchair for instance...).
I would add my name to these comments. I totally agree with pretty much everyone has said. I think if the cabrio was your main/only car you would certainly get fed up with the letter-box boot. Fortunately my wife has a Fiat 500 which we use for going to the skip, B&Q for lengths of wood, bags of compost etc. I love my carbrio to bits and have a big smile on my face when the sun is out and the roof is back. Would I have another one? Probably not, I will wait for the next generation DS3 Hatch.
Decided to keep with what I have, the boot is truly no good !! It would of been more of a problem the older my kids are getting, and also the headroom in the rear is a lot worse then the hatch surprisingly .
