    Hi All, I'm Steven and this is my other halfs DS3 Roxy...


    I wanted a DS3 when they first came out, nearly got a petrol 1.6 a few years ago, however when the time came to change my car she wanted me to get a sensible one with 5 doors...so no DS3 however the other half wanted a purple car to replace her long suffering steed and low and behold they released Whisper Purple.

    Roxy is a 64 plate Dstyle plus with a 1.6 e-hdi 90 under the bonnet, in white/whisper purple, rather a change from the 03 1.2 Micra that we had. Had it since October and done about 1300 miles so far with no issues. Hopefully will be staying away from the technical areas of the forum with it being new however if anyone has any ideas about how to wash whisper purple without covering it in swirl marks by all means let me know. I'm no stranger to washing cars (behold Martha behind in its nice low maintenance colour) I use 2 buckets, I rinse, I don't use a sponge but it's already swirling up a treat, worse than the 3 year old mazda. Other than that all is well other than slightly crap MPG, 49.5 isn't particularly good imo for such a small diesel however this could be her driving combined with it still being tight as whenever I drive it the fuel range goes up rather than down:confused:.

            I'm in High Spen, although most people have never heard of that so it's near Rowlands Gill and Chopwell wood, otherside of the derwent valley from Consett.

            Oddly we have another whisper purple DS3 in the village although it has a black roof for extra swirling potential...never know might be on here as well somewhere.

                        The other half is not a big fan of driving around by herself other than a short commute. So if we go anywhere further away I drive, I favour my Mazda for distance as it cruises better also I don't have to sit their listening to her sucking her teeth whenever I go near anything, Do not want to be the 1st person to put a ding on it although it's a fun little car when I'm out on my own.

                        I like the colour not seen another purple one with a white roof yet, a few with black roofs so seems quite rare.

                        Cheers for the welcome all.
