Seriously considering buying a DS3.. anything I need to be aware of?

Now hang the cord with the ball on the end in the garage making sure that the ball just touches the car. Now next time you drive or back into your garage as so as you hit the hanging tennis ball stop!

I just have a block of wood on the floor - just roll back until the rear wheel touches it, job done! Of course the rear parking sensors also help . . .

[QUOTE=Kaibabes;31538]The only trouble I find with the DS3 is people driving like idiots around me looking at the car.. they get so close and wobble all over the place.. its annoying.. nosey swines LOL

I came out of sainsburys the other and the people in the car in front of me were looking at the car and having a discussion about what make it was, i was gutted to hear him say "think its a Suzuki" I walked past and said "Its a Citroen"

Not impressed, but its nice to know i dont drive a common car lo!

A good tip for you to let you know when you have driven in enough is this. Park your car as normal in the garage and then take a piece of cord and a tennis ball. Punch a hole through the tennis ball with a drill or spike and loop the cord through it. Now hang the cord with the ball on the end in the garage making sure that the ball just touches the car. Now next time you drive or back into your garage as so as you hit the hanging tennis ball stop!

Good tip - I did that for my current car (C2 VTS) but it's a bit shorter than the DS3 so I'm going to have to adjust where the ball hangs. I'm more worried about the width than the length to be honest. But I've ordered the folding mirrors now as part of the City signature pack so it should be alright. I like the idea of putting mats or rubber around the sides of the garage, the only problem is there is other stuff in it like my husband's DIY stuff, bikes etc. I'd like to wrap the car in cotton wool to make sure it doesn't get damaged but I know that's not realistic...! Even when you are careful at home it's other people (bad parkers - grr, hate them!) you have to worry about. Maybe I should set it up so that whenever someone gets too close it has that recorded voice saying "Step away from the car"!
