  • Just returned from my Germany road trip...

    ...1610 miles door to door

    Saw 1 DS3 on the way to Dover, then looooads in France, Belgium and Germany, then another 1 or two on the way home from Dover! Seems mainland Europe has discovered them more than us!

    Saw LOADS of brand spankers in the port of Calais this aft waiting to be loaded onto a ship, could easily make them out even from far away - anyone waiting for a white with black wheels or a yellow with black wheels (these stood out a mile lol)

    So, the DS now has 2300 miles on it ( its 21 days old :cool and returned an overall 43.3mpg

    I was doing an average 90mph in France and happened to flick to instant MPG - it doesnt like that speed (23mpg)

    Took it on the Autobahn, just kissed 110mph but then backed off as the g/f was moaning lol - it gets up to those speeds without me even knowing, hence having the limiter set to below license losing speeds when back in the UK!!

    Anyhu, the best past was The Frankfurt Motor Show!!

    OMG, what an amazing place. 14Euros to get in and have the most amazing day! Apparently its the biggest in the world, and ill believe it as it took us 7 hours to walk round (rushing abit at the end) and with no lunch breaks!!

    The Citroen stand contained, among other things, these











    But the shop was rubbish!

    So, yea thats about it! Look at some of my other photos in my general chat thread

        I think that is the new Prestige edition not the Racing.

          I've already decided against a pink dash as it clashes with the gross orange display IMO

          I don't like the pink top either - shocking I know!!

          Will be getting some pink bits though.

            That leather dash was on the Prestige Edition yea, was abit tacky mind. The seats were nice though (the leather watch strap effect ones)

            If you notice (dont know why photobucket has uploads photos off centre) the prestige edition has a different coloured climate control display, and id assume without nav, itd have a different clock display colour too - this would look ok with the shocking pink. I really quite liked the pink!

            That big thing is the DS5 - that particular one had a 49,000Euro price tag!

                Just seen this thread, sounds like you had an awesome time. Just got back myself from a Europe round trip. Started on the south coast, and headed down through France into Italy, back up through Germany into Holland and then through Belgium back to France and home again.
                However, in all the time i was driving around, the only other DS3 i saw was the model WRC edition in the Citroen garage on Champs D'Elysee in Paris.

                I pretty much got the same MPG as yourself. I think in the end it was 42. Luckily enough for me, no g/f was in the car and just a friend wanting me to go as fast as possible. I think its the only time i'll ever get to max her out to top speed.

                P.s. what is that Cirtoen van/mpv thing supposed to be?

                    Pink dash yuck, White leather dash (man alive will that get dirty) but strangely love the van!

                    So Joni hates the pink roof. Better send her xmas present back then and ask for orange.
