  • Are There Any "Common Problems" To Look Out For?

    Yes, I know you may all be biased towards the DS3 - that's why you're here. But are the any common problems to watch out for?

    I'm hoping to get one within the next 6-12 months as a company car - so I wouldn't have to worry about costs - but I don't want a car that may be in the garage more than an my drive. Alternatively, I may just purchase one myself if the company doesn't allow a company car.

    TIA

    Hi Mat

    Which engine are you looking for?

    There are two diesel variants and three petrol:

    Petrol 1.6 VTI 120BHP
    Petrol 1.6 THP 155 BHP (turbocharged)
    Petrol 1.2 VTI (replaced the older 1.4VTI)

    Diesel 90BHP e-HDI
    Diesel 115BHP e-HDI (was previously 110BHP)

      No idea yet. If it was up to me, the 1.6 Turbo, however, if I do happen to get a company car, they may prefer it to be a DERV, so probably the 115bhp HDI

        Body wise not many problems aside from minor interior rattles and some radio problems. Engine wise the Diesels and non turbo petrels are pretty bulletproof.
