Citroen DS3 hatchback ->

Even when compared with newer competitors, is the DS 3 as one of the most practical, stylish and fun-to-drive superminis on the market

Citroen DS3 hatchback

There is will now be sold under the "DS" brand, but the DS 3 is pretty much identical with upscale runabout that went as the Citroen DS3 for sale in of 2010. However, this should not be interpreted as a bad thing - in fact, it is remarkable how competitive the DS 3 is

practicality, for example, is still very strong compared to competitors -. Although shy of leading the class Renault Clio 300-liter capacity, the 285-liter trunk of the DS 3 is expected on a par with those of the Peugeot 208 and Ford Fiesta and miles, which can manage the MINI hatchback. Space for the rear passengers is also fine, but access is not of the DS 3 of the three-door bodystyle.

equipment is pretty good also the entire DS 3 area. Even entry-chic models come with cruise control, six airbags, air conditioning, a touchscreen display in the center console and a tire pressure monitoring system as standard, while models further up the range with extras such as parking sensors, leather seats and larger alloy wheels.

Overall, the engine range of the DS 3 is well rounded, each provides a different balance between performance and fuel consumption. Our choice would be the 110bhp, 62mpg PureTech petrol with a manual transmission as the car character fits well, provides enough grunt for the needs of most customers and is as fuel efficient as the 82bhp version of the same engine.

If you want a faster petrol, the DS is 3 performance do 143 hours Miles and 0-62mph in 6.5 seconds, but should still return to 50mpg. It can now with the MINI Cooper S for the first time in the competition, but it is expensive compared to the Ford Fiesta ST.

impress diesel engines DS 3 and will be far more attractive to buyers with high annual mileage thanks to lower operating costs compared to gasolines. Both versions of the 1.6-liter diesel are tax-free, for example, and all may well return over 70mpg. As attractive as the 80mpg + 100bhp model, however, we would recommend the punchier 0bhp engine, as it is almost as efficient and the additional equipment (six against the 100bhp five) crosses makes it better suited for the highway.

No matter which engine you go for the DS 3 is a sporty and relatively engaging car to drive. It's not as much fun as a MINI or Ford Fiesta, but there is the Peugeot 208 and Opel Corsa a run for their money and strikes a better compromise between ride and handling than the Audi A1. That is, the firmer suspension setup has the DS 3 make a little spring on rougher surfaces and expansion joints in motorways, while tire roar is equipped on models with the optional larger wheels palpable.

It's been a while, the DS 3 was crash-tested, but the five-star safety rating awarded by Euro NCAP, released as a first resort, it is still a safe car (especially since most DS 3s can now be specified with a activing brake assist). The DS 3 has a patchier record when it comes to reliability (12 recalls were in the first two years exhibited for sale), but strong performances in our power driver owner satisfaction survey suggests these issues are behind the DS 3. It also has strong residual values ​​compared to many of its competitors.
