new DS3 help

[Beccii]

Hi!

I've currently got the ds3 Dstyle plus.. I'm wanting to change to the new style DS3..

I went to look and test drive a 16 plate 1.2 turbo and I noticed there's no automatic lights/ wipers or electric folding door mirrors..

I've been told they don't add these features anymore.. Is this true?!

Also no more 1.6 it's now 1.2 turbo. Is this better?!

Pretty useless when it comes to technical bits but having the features like automatic lights and the folding mirrors then doing to one that doesn't feels like I'm downgrading as I'm used to having them.

If anyone has any info regarding the new ones I'd really appreciate the help..

Thankyouuuu!

Hiya, just had a look on the online configurator and the auto lights/wipers and electric folding mirrors are available on the Prestige and higher trim levels. The kit's still there, but not on the lower trim levels. Since you have a DStyle Plus at the moment, you've been treated to all the goodies of the DSport, and the Prestige is the new equivalent of that.

The 1.2 turbo 3 cylinder puretech engines are a lot more economical than the old 1.6 4 cylinder naturally aspirated ones, but the THP engines are still 1.6 (and the diesel one I believe, as that's a 4 cylinder too)

On the Elegance model the Auto Pack is now an option, the idea behind this was to give customers the option of retaining the cup holder if desired.

The 1.2 110 Engine is way better than the old clunky BMW engine, don't let the size put you off. It's more torquey than the old unit, better on fuel and costs less to tax.

Are those things even important?

Depends on how lazy and coddled one is. Me, I am very lazy and love my conveniences

1.6 petrol Vti Vs the 1.2 petrol?

The 1.2 is awesome!! I test drove one when they first came out and they are really nippy and responsive

Auto lights are irritating at dusk when driving through shadows etc.

Never bothered me.

Hi,
It's not the driver of the car with auto lights that gets annoyed, it's the driver of the car in front.
I remember about 10 years ago a Audi flashing me while driving down a country lane, eventually I pulled in for it to overtake, then I got stuck behind the bloody thing for 6 miles.
