Citroën DS3 (10 on) - Review Review by David Ross on 25 January 2010 Last Updated: 18 February 2011 The DS3 is the first in a range of very different Citroen models that put the emphasis on style and personality, along with strong performance and driver appeal. With its stylish look and compact size, it's easy to see why so many comparisons have been drawn with the popular MINI and Fiat 500. In contrast to those two, the DS3 isn't a 'retro' model, but it is similar in many ways with an elegant cabin, a sporty stance and impressive handling. It really is great to drive with tremendous poise in corners and responsive steering, while the ride remains forgiving. It's also very well built - something that can't be said for all Citroens - with a genuinely premium feel to the interior and impressive refinement at higher speeds. Overall, it's the best car Citroen has made for a long time. 4 out of 5 Other Citroën reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 4 out of 5 Equipment There are three trim levels - DSign, DStyle and DSport and all models come well equipped as standard. The DSign has chrome door handles, electric door mirrors, electric windows, a leather steering wheel, a CD stereo with steering wheel mounted controls plus an auxiliary socket for MP3 players and iPods while the DStyle adds front LEDs, 16-inch alloy wheels, roof-coloured door mirrors, two-tone body and roof colours, tinted rear windows, a leather handbrake, air conditioning (with a built-in scented air freshener) and gloss black interior trim. The top DSport gets 17-inch alloys, an alarm, rear spoiler, double chrome exhaust, carbon fibre effect dashboard, chrome door strips, climate control, Bluetooth, USB connection and aluminium pedals. Personalisation is a key theme with the DS3 and there's a wide choice of paint colours with 38 body and roof combinations to choose from while the door mirrors and wheels can be chosen in wide range of colours and styles. There are also different themes available - such as Vibe and Urban Tribe - which add interior and exterior styling additions, such as roof decals. Inside the dashboard can be specified in black, white, blue or red, or a sporty carbon fibre effect with a matching gear knob.
