Newbie - 13 years of SEAT and first time ever in a Citroen.

[DS3Simon]

Hello all,

Today I bought a DS3 D Sport 110 HDi.

My first ever Citroen after having had 2 SEAT's in the last 13 years.

Coming from a 200 Bhp Derv to the 110 is a step down, but I love the look of the DS3, nothing like it for the price at the moment and comes fully loaded as it is.

I used to be Chairman of the SEAT Car Club UK in the mid 0000s and my work takes up a lot of time now, but looking forward to learning about the car and some subtle modifications as it has just come out of Warranty period and so that means re-map and new exhaust.

Booking for French Car Show and possibly Trax as well

Very nice, welcome to the club.

They say white DS3s are the best btw.

Thank you, I was looking at Yellow or white, but white and black alloys are a winner

Was going to car shows from 93 - 2007 and then dropped out of the Club Scene and so it will be nice to see it from a different point of view and not VAG, even managed to get a VAG friend to go to French Car Show

I think I might have even once looked to buy at Mk2 Ibiza from you? Red? Long time ago

How are you finding Citroen?

After having the Leon Derv, I stayed with Derv

My hair colour would be "Bald" Don't think Citroen did that colour :redface:

Nope sorry didnt have any Red Ibiza. I has a Imperial Blue Seat Leon TDI and a Black Seat Altea TDI Sport. I think you may have helped organise our first Seat NI Meeting many moons ago.

Loving the feel of the THP 155 Petrol. strange though since coming from DERV myself. Citroen does have its good and bad sides but loving it all the same. What model did you get? by the looks of the Pics just the 110 Sport? must say I'm loving the Sport+ model myself. good taste in colour: Mine -> http://www.ds3club.co.uk/showthread....lack-Onyx-Roof

I think I did have a hand in the first SEAT NI meet, was in Belfast last year running round the Dame Mary Peters running track for 24 hours!

I did look at a 155, must be getting old and I like the low end Torque for driving around Leeds, re-map first up I think, 140 Bhp in these would be enough I think.

I just did an Insurance Quote and mine came out as a D Sport Airdream ... trying to check the spec of it to see what I did get and what I did not get but can't find it ... no Arm rest though, but does have the dual pipe exhaust.
