  • First test drive

    I've finally had my first drive in a DS3! I think I now have the DS3 bug! I really wanted to try driving an auto to see how it drove and also to see how the ride compared to my Mini Cooper. Luckily the Citroen dealer had an auto 1.6 DStyle + there so they said I could take that out just to get a feel for the car.
    Well what can I say, I loved it! The ride was a lot smoother than I thought and I liked the performance of the auto, it has a slight delay (to be expected I guess) but once I put my foot down it was off! Very nippy.
    The drive was just lovely and the steering is so light compared to mine, it was such a pleasure to drive.
    I now have to wait for right car to come along, I really liked this one but maybe a bit over budget and it was grey and I really wanted white, I know I'm fussy but if I'm spending the money I want the right one.

    I'm glad I picked up tips on here first because it helped me when I visited the dealer on my own!
    Thanks guys

    That's my first impression so I guess it will only get better the more you drive them.

              My Sister went from a Mini to DS3 and I think she questioned why she hadn't done it sooner!

                Hi Karen,

                I've just picked up my new ds3 auto and drove for 2.5 hours back from the dealer, using motorway as well as little country lanes. It drove like a dream and yes it's very nippy. Also tried out the sport button which gave her a boost when needed. So far I'm very impressed :lemon:

                    I was only driving it for about 10 minutes as I felt I didn't want to take it out too long for a test drive! And it felt strange being on my own without the salesman sat next to you.
                    It was good though as I could put my foot down a little, I was so surprised how nippy it was. I totally forgot about using the sport button! Oh well I have that to look forward to

                      Sadly it's not mine :-( I just took an auto out that was there at the dealer. But it did win me over in just 10 minutes:-)
