DS3 Model updates for May

[Bigfeet]

There is going to be a couple of changes to the model range from May production, the 90 HDi is being replaced with a Eco Diesel unit and the Airdream model is back (99G for those who remember)

There is also a couple of colour changes which can be found in the pdf attached, the document is not the full copy as it hold things that are not for public viewing so I have shown as much as I can.

Whats The Difference Between The 90 And The 'Eco Diesel' Mr Feet ?

[Bigfeet]

Well the co2 level makes the car now a group A (free tax) and I believe that the car with have the stop start system fitted to it as well. That means when you come to a stop, pop the car out of gear and pull the handbrake the engine goes in a 'standby' mode and switches off. As soon as you press the clutch the engine starts back up again ready to go.

I Was Reading About That In My Manual The Other Day... Got Slightly Confused As I Didnt Know Which Model Had It :L

[Bigfeet]

Lol! Well you could say that you are 'parked' when at lights!

Typical, this changes just as i take delivery. When it comes to car tax

Doesn't affect me. I'm getting the hdi 110 and the road tax is only like £20 or £30 on that anyway. Our Y reg fiesta cost a fortune compared to that.

Similar stop-start cars I've driven don't necessarily require the handbrake - as long as the ground is level and the car does not move the engine will stop when you put it into neutral and take your foot off the clutch.
