Just signed up because I'm picking up my first DS3 next week. Having mainly driven classic and kit cars through my life my wife convinced (ordered?) me it was time to buy something boring and sensible. I thing I've fooled her with the new car.

Not bad thanks. Had a dink in the DS and as its not much more than the excess, having to fund the repair myself

Then within 48hrs the driveshaft went on my Clio- cant believe both cars got poorly at stame time

Clio now done tho, and DS tomorrow for a few day

Hows everything your end?

It was a tricky choice, the garage had two, a black/wlite sport cabriolet (153bhp) and a black/yellow 118bhp half the mileage and £1000 less money. Much to my surprise I opted for the low powered one. No boot to speak of with the cabriolet and potential expensive sunroof bills were the clinchers. As long as I can survive in the third lane motorway crocodile I'll be happy, and the lower powered version will be well up to this. I've also managed to hang on to my Mazda MX5 NA with has a slightly better power to weight ratio than the 118bhp DS3. It wouldn't do to own a sports car slower than the saloon you also own.
