  • Another newbie from notts

    Hello all

    I am new to the forum so thought I would post to say hi and introduce myself. Now I have not actually bought a ds3 yet, but am looking to upgrade in the next few months and for the money cannot seem to find anything that comes close to the ds3 in terms of looks and equipment levels. My current car is a Citroen C3 Hdi vtr which is ok but I have a new job which requires a 40 mile commute each day and would prefer something a bit nicer :snowy0:

    Currently have been eyeing up the ds3 ultra prestige as the interior looks epic, just wondered what your opinions were on that car and which engine people would recommend (I believe it comes with either the 1.6THP or 1.6 e-hdi 110). Have always liked cars but money has prevented me from getting something really nice up until this point (previous car history is ford fiesta 1.25 ghia, Toyota yaris 1.3 SR and now Citroen c3 hdi vtr).

    Cheers

    James

    Welcome to the club . I don't know if the prestige version is worth the extra cash compared to a D Sport +. Someone who has experience with both will have to shed some light on it!

      Welcome! I followed a similar route to you as I had a C4 HDi before, and even though that car gave my 70k pleasant miles with hardly a hiccup, the DS3 is light years ahead in both build quality and driving experience. Might not be quite as big a leap for you if you have the newer style C3, as the dash and a few other bits are pretty much the same, but a massive difference if it's one of the original C3's.

      Go for the 110HDi as you are used to diesels, it's got loads of mid range grunt, and a sweet 6 speed box, and if you want quicker, just get it remapped

            I would be buying second hand, having had a quick browse they dont seem to be carrying too much of a premium in the second hand market

            My current one is refreshed older style one so I guess a ph2 mk1 (has the square buttons) so fairly bland inside.
