At the end of all these comments, it's a 110hp diesel that looks great and is a smile on wheels.
You say it doesn't handle - well you haven't tried too hard! When you get used to the steering and chassis you will find a difference.
I too have a 110 Dpsort+ and have had, over many years of driving, a lot of cars, both expensive and cheap, and this little diesel probably makes me smile the most. Give yourself time to learn the car and you'll see what I mean.Boomerangs are just frisbees for lonely people!!!! :snowy0:

Granted the DS3 is Citroen's "premium" range but at the end of the day, it's still a Citroen.

I've had a vectra b 2.5 v6, Saab 2.0 Turbo (tuned), a Renault 5 GT Turbo, golf gti and fiesta 1.4 tdci, so a few different cars and my 90hdi is the best fun I've had driving in yrs. I love chuck in it round corners and I get about 47 - 55 MPG depending on wot I'm doing. This car makes u smile, it brings fun to driving. You can't compare BMW's to ds3's, that's like comparing a ka to a bently. Just enjoy itBlack Limited Edition 1.6 Hdi

With A Comment Like That I Don't Think You Have, The Setup As Biggie Said Is Set Up For Comfort But It's Still A Very Sporty Ride And Is Quite Impressive.
When I Went Over To France For The Citroen Meet They Made Us Weave In And Out Tight Cones And Go Around Sharp Corners At High Speed And The DS3 Was Fantastic

Don't get me wrong, i still think the car is a great car and it will be even better when i get some new springs for it. But i've spent a lot of time in my mates Clio 200 Cup and Civic Type R. I've also seen a lot of reviews that say the Mini Cooper S is far better in the corners which disappointed me. Overall though that is my only niggle with the car.

Guys, guys, guys!!
I know we all love our little French darling but lets not 'flame' the OP for voicing opinion.
I respect the fact that he made the post about his disappointments, at the end of the day not everybody is going to feel the love in the same way. My thought is that maybe the OP is suffering from what I call 'Buyers Regret' which everybody goes through - some over come it while others don't. I hope that he will see the charm that we all do with the DS3.Last edited by Bigfeet; 14-03-2012, 12:49....I should never have doubted the Lord of Bacon!!
