DS3 Hits Headlines
Published Date: 06 May 2011
Citreon DS3 hits news headlines.
"The DS3 has been named Best Hot Hatch at the CarBuyers Car of
the Year awards. Hot hatches are emotive things, and the Citroen
DS3 stirred plenty of passion among our judges. By combining smart
looks, lively performance and entertaining handling in such an
affordable package. Citroen has crafted the sharpest go-faster
supermini around. The turbocharged DS3 DSport is great value, but
it will also make plenty of sense once its showroom shine has
begun to fade. Thanks to Citroens affordable service plan,
mainenance costs will be reasonable and the DS3 should hold onto
its value well, too." CAR
"The type of car that I most enjoy driving is a hot hatchback,
and the DS3 Racing is about as hot as hot hatches get right now."
THE SUNDAY TIMES, INGEAR, JEREMY CLARKSON
"Citroens new DS3 Racing is a real piece - 204 horses gallop
through a six-speed box, translating to 60 in a whisker over six
seconds. Plus there's a chassis that's sharp and finely balanced,
yet surprisingly smooth-riding. Scything through B-road curves and
apexes, it's an absoloute joy, with minimal torque steer, massive
grip and brilliant Brembo four-pot brakes." THE SUNDAY
MIRROR, QUENTIN WILSON
"The more time I spend with th eDS3, the more impressed I am at
how well rounded it is. The Citroen spends most of its life
trundling about in London, where it covers itself in glory on a
daily basis, but its equally comfortable with the task of bombing
along on the motorway at quite a high speed. I reckon the DS3 is
more versatile than most cars of its size and continues to charm
the pants off everyone who drives it." AUTOCAR, ALLAN
MUIR
"There's no denying the DS3 is eye-catching but a couple of
other things stood out - including the radical interior. The bucket
seats are superb and grip your sides to keep you pinned where
you should be. The DS3 knocks the Alfa off its perch easily on the
driving dynamic and driving position alone. The mini is a slightly
tougher call. But personally I think the Citroen looks better for
not pretending to be something from the 1950's and the engine out
performs the Mini Cooper's in 90 per cent of everyday driving
conditions." DAILY STAR, MARK FORSYTH
