Welcome Gary.
You won't be disappointed with your new car.
I have had my DSport Plus THP in Sport Red and Black for three weeks now and it grows on you.
This forum is a great resource for info and help from fellow owners and enthusiasts and is
very addictive.

Enjoy your new DS3.

Thanks, how is it compared to the T Spark?

The DS has good responsive weighted steering, good ride, handles well with good brakes.

It is a smaller car compared to the TSpark and same BHP at 155, but the DS has a better
power to weight ratio compared to the Alfa.

The 0-62 times of the DS at 7.3 seconds is quick and faster than the TSpark.

My previous Alfa Romeo Giulietta Veloce was 170 BHP and quick in Dynamic mode but a
0-62 time of 7.8 seconds, so the Dsport is quicker.
Enjoy your new car!!.
