Hello Guys an Gals - not a DS3 Owner yet but am on the lookout for one as we are finally thinking of trading in our 8 yr old Astra VXR, Its been mega reliable but its just sooo thirsty an with road tax/tyres/insurance for it going up an up its time to bid it farewell Am looking for a DS3 Diesel 10/11 or 12 plate, if any of you kind peeps could give me any info on the diesel models it would be gratefully appreciated - mpg/reliability performance ect

hi i think the one you may want to get is the 90 or 110hdi upto 60 mpg zero rd tax and as far as im concerned,you could'nt get a better engine.
so good luck with the hunt for your ds3

Mine is a 110 and my first diesel. Had a 2.0 Leon before and changed for the same reasons as you last year. Not disappointed. The 90 is good too but depends what you want it for. Use mine for short trips mainly but have regular trips down the motorway at least twice a month. Road fund licence is Nil. Economy is good but not what Citroen say (74mpg) as this is done under controlled conditions. During the summer averaged 53 around town increased to 62 on open roads. This drops during the winter to 42 and 50 respectively. Leon was 18 and 36 if I was lucky and road fund licence £245

Welcome to the club

If you're set on the diesel, go for a new 110 eHDi and get it remapped. Great mpg and still decent performance.

Reliability - well we've only had ours for 9 months so far and nothing to report so far, stereo unit was replaced on Thursday under warranty to try and fix an issue I had with phone calls freezing the display, guess it's too early to tell anything else yet.

I came from a Astra 1.9 CDTI Sri 150bhp, thought I'd really miss that car but this DS3 has been amazing....
