Breeding DS3s

Think most of them have come to Sussex
There are loads of them around Brighton and Hove area- dozens. Sometimes 3 in a line of traffic
Cant miss the LEDs behind, or on opposite line of traffic (Traffics prominent round here)
White and then BLUE seems popular
Keep bumpin into Transporter loads of them
Used to be 3 or 4 that i knew of 12 month ago- only one 2010 reg plate that Ive seen locally
Somebody asked what Special Edition mine was today- with the badges, roof decal and exhaust etc

Ditto WTF.
Lucky them, learning to drive in a DS3. Back in the day, I had to do it in a clapped out MK4 fiesta!....lush.

[ZACK]

They're all in Merthyr !

True, many driving schools like me are using them but in Shropshire here I'm seeing quit a few privates also.
No surprise really when you look at the competition.

[Chris_Blue]

Why are they specially good for driving schools then?
Is it because they are bias toward LHD? IE Quite roomy in the passenger side, and room for dual controls
Ive always thought they arent the greatest for all round vision but OK for experienced drivers

Footwells are the same lhd/rhd. The vision is virtually the same as other cars fiesta, corsa, clio ( had them all at some point). Really its about attracting new pupils with learning in a "premium" car (not full of plastic like the others) and of course your own comfort and driving fun. In actual fact as far as leasing from specialist driving school suppliers they are one of the dearest so you have to enjoy it.

I chose a DS3 because I think it's stylish looks, comfort to drive and packed out features will appeal to young learner drivers. Citroen also do some fantastic deals for driving schools. I guess they think that it's a great way to advertise their cars. I also just happen to think the car is brilliant.

Can see where YOU'RE coming from!!! Too easy surely?

I read somewhere that a huge percentage of people when buying their first car buy the one they learnt it - so an obvious incentive to Citroen.
