DS3 1.6 HDi White edition

[ds3oo1]

think your car looks great
what do you think about the performance of tha 16hdi

[parafox]

well i think its good once its rolling, good torque but i would as had 1.8 petrol focus before. its same speed though however im not used to the turbo lag, but its alright if i can keep the revs up and turbo up to pressure

[Bigfeet]

So lets clear this up;

Drums = 1.4 VTi, 1.6 HDi 99g & 1.6 HDi 90hp

Discs = 1.6 VTi 120hp, 1.6 VTi 150 & 1.6 HDi 110hp



oh by the way your ESP will work fine, even if you have drum fitted.

[parafox]

Where did you get your DS3 from Parafox?
Was it from the dealers near Ebbsfleet?

Yep Phil the Kia/Citroen dealer next to the railway bridge. Its called Hidsons Gravesend, i had good service there so far.

FFS... Not Happy...

You'd rather have drum brakes than discs? o.0

yep its great seen it flashing on my dash always on the way home from work obviously noone to race on the way there, who wants to rush to work lol

OK. We did look in there...nearly bought a Kia from there a few years back, but saw sense.

Friendly salesman, straight in with a small discount, but he couldn't get hold of the one we wanted.
We ordered from Crayford in the end. A bit closerto us, we've bought from there before and had good experiences with sales, and service.

anyone thinking of chipping the i6hdi should think about uprating the rear druns you could get about another25bhp on the 92hdi
the 110hdi comes with discs alround that little bit more bhp might work those druns harder

Zack - I can't help wondering, given all the pricey modding that you intend to do, why you went for the 90hp rather than the 110hp in the first place?

Good point ^^

Just got mine today. Having seen one other I was a bit disappointed that the bumper colour doesn't quite match the metal work colour. Any White car owners found the same?

That seems normal nowadays on just about any new car, not just a Citroen thing. Possibly caused by the change to water-based paints, although I don't see why there should be any difference.

The collar and cuffs don't match on my yellow DS3 either.

Not greatly bothered - I don't keep it clean enough for anyone to notice (as the actress said to the bishop).

There you go, lowering the tone again!

Which makes a change from me.
