Citroen DS3 - 90sec review by autocar.co.uk

[blakegoode1]

will you be roadtesting the citroen ds4 and when

[LyleCable]

It looks dam cool... but its 1 of those cars that make wonder if it will look cool 10 years or so down the line..

[TheZenPerspective]

I think this car looks dreadful. Much rather the poise and the angry front lights of the Audi A1. This looks like a fun car, but on a week day morning after a dreadful cup of tea which my girlfriend would have made me whilst I'm on my way to work I would get very fucked off with styling.

[justanothercarfan2]

Nice car & cool styling.Looks better than mini or 500 or beetle.This car is anti-retro making it cooler.Black & Orange is awesome colorscheme.

[YAGO323]

the sides and rear look pretty good.. the front grill looks like a mess

[TheForza1000]

15 skoda owners hit the dislike button...

[NiallatUTube]

Nice, I like the DS4 as well with its more cross-over aura.

[roketmode]

nub driver

[Rangeroversport12]

love the shark fin b-pillar!!

[u1430]

Not a nice retro design. Fussy and totally OTT.

I'll keep my Abarth 500 SS, much nicer IMO.

[Herman19888]

@u1430 That's because it's not supposed to be retro.. Their "slogan" for the DS3 is "Anti Retro".

[u1430]

@Herman19888 Oh right, but it still looks rather ugly to me. It's been over styled.

[hamdicarlo]

Anti Retro!!!!

it is a simple as that!

Rocks......... Thumbs up Citroen (Creative Technologie)

[NiallatUTube]

Looks a damn sight better than the Fabia VRS! It should have more oomph though, 150 bhp is nothing these days, should supercharged to 180 - 200 bhp.

[BabyVoltron]

@NiallatUTube

there is a 155 kW/ 200hp version

[roller12coaster]

Raceversion with Black & Orange looks Awsome!

[richards37basher]

It aint without it's floors? Just look at it! I want money, now!

[jangu63]

Looks are both sexy and fun :)

[messiasVi]

sorry but this is uglier than a fiat multipla, only a complete douche would buy tthat c3 designed by 5 year old boy!

[SirRetku]

@messiasVi Citroens are better made than Fiats. Ask Loeb.

[mygrandma9000]

not bad...

[SweetPresea1]

Go "Different Spirit! (DS) YOU ROCK! (L)

[SweetPresea1]

it looks awesome!! nice car, much better than a mini.

[LTF85199]

ugly exterior design especially the rear

[joydivision808]

looks more nice than a mini

[adriannippy]

Very beautiful car.

[jyztc]

it looks sexy

[alkiv8]

I don't think they named it ds3 because they intended to present it as a reinvention or an heir to the legendary ds, it is more of "brand within a brand" name now, ds4 and ds5 will follow. Citroen had created a bit of a bad reputation in recent years, especially considering the glorious days of the past, and they just tried to signify that they are turning the page and building something with more quality hence the "Different Spirit" the initials DS now supposedly stand for.

[aakarshtheone]

Why in the fuck would you name a "variant" of an already existing car, after the most iconic name in the Citroen line up ever. Fuck this is just stupid, how in the fucking hell this compares to the DS 20, the DS 20 was a pioneer during its time with its styling and technology. The French have gone crazy, the French are not supposed to do this, hide people in the basement, apocalypse is coming.

[Thommislav]

it ain't a DS it has no simmilair looks!

the old DS was a nice car even for me someone who wasn't born in that era

[sfsTrader]

wierd

[yogobogo]

Ugly seats. They look like cheap covers from supermarket.

[khunopie]

91 seconds. 1 second of my life wasted with this aussie with marbles in his mouth

[te71se]

@khunopie huh? he's a brit.

[Donedeal11]

90 second* verdict

*give or take a couple

[dem1275]

Keep the Mini!! I love this car.

[MikeFinnley]

What sane person would buy a car with a yellow interior like that.

[resellworld]

@MikeFinnley a very very very very happy person would buy it......

[jam1e007]

ugly..

[adulby]

0-62 in 7.6

not bad

[nismo007]

@adulby 7.3

[HENRYHOBBS1]

i couldnt imagine mike tyson driving this ; )

[stonedrider15]

I'm sorry but i think this car looks ugly

[jonathan102]

this car looks ridiculously good.

[JohnnyTheWolfLupino]

I really like this car but I haven't seen any on the roads yet apart from one's for demo at the local dealers'.

[tinleo333]

i love french cars

[kartkidchun]

Hey that's the car that Clarkson was given for his review at the Times. Just read the review today.

[scoot24925]

@kartkidchun who i can find that review.?..give me the link please

[kartkidchun]

@scoot24925 Didn't see it online. I get the newspapers but I'll bet typing the Times into Google will bring the paper up. You'll find it for sure.

[DriverSideEd]

scrolling figures on the bottom are distracting...btw.

[CANDigB]

Why the F@#$ can't we get cars like that in Canada!!

[postalshack]

@CANDigB The cost of converting it for our roads is probably higher than it'd be worth -- that and Citroen doesn't really have a presence here.

(boring answer, yes, but true!)

[Sj1bby]

Why, why and why? Topspeed in mph. Displacement in CC Power in BHP Torque in lb/ft Weight in kg Economy in mpg Emissions in g/km Please Autocar use 1 way system of measurement. Example1: Use Only Metric, witch every country in the world uses exept for USA, Burma and Liberia. Example2: Don't use metric, like USA, Burma and Liberia!

[au51emu]

@Sj1bby It's British mate. We're changing from imperial to metric. It's taken 30 years so far, should be done in another 10. Don't rush us!

[CANDigB]

@Sj1bby It's England, they are kinda quirky like that!

[seapeddler]

@Sj1bby Do they use metric or standard measures in the morgue?

[Sj1bby]

@seapeddler

Why do you want to know?

If your looking for a job at the morque? The way you measure should not give any problem, if you write down the measure you use.

If it was a threat, you would do better asking for my adress! (Should I PM it?)

[jcadlols]

@Sj1bby morque?

[Sj1bby]

@jcadlols sorry i ment: a place in which bodies are kept, esp. the bodies of victims of violence or accidents, pending identification or burial.

[LakeVinney]

Good Mini rival.

[jcadlols]

@Sj1bby haha, i thought it must have been a new word :)

[seapeddler]

@Sj1bby "Adress", or address.

I don't want your address, I was only making a joke about the dangers of small cars.

Did you watch the video from Eastern Europe where a big delivery truck smashed into a line-up of small cars? Imagine being crushed between 2 big trucks in a Moscow tunnel. So, the car is a "death-trap", and don't take it personally.

If I said the Queen Mary was unsafe would you take it personally as well?

[scoot24925]

i like this very much ....gonna like and the 200 hp version as well

[boofhead123456]

from the display pic for this video, the front looked kinda like an r35.

and the back looks like the new polo gti

[ahpek26]

What a sad and pathetic car, only deserve to be reviewed in 91 seconds, LMAO!

[phoenixm4]

The B pillar looks odd with the body color going up only about halfway and then just going to glass.

[KarlowBOI]

i like the design =]

[stigger91]

Somehow I like the yellow seats

[Matt140989]

91 seconds

[blazing6190]

@Matt140989 lol

[mooda4208]

i want this in Canada

[R8Prototype]

it faintly reminds me of an eclipse... dunno

[gav25x]

VULGAR !!!!!!!!

[mrjost55]

I think it look great, def a good alternative if you don't want the Cooper

[daedalx]

It looks like the unfinished prototype that is covered up in the leaked spy photos.

[alphie10]

damn at least the design is better than every car they make people undermine small car companies but wo knows they may make the next new supercar just like nissan people always thought they were shit but ever since they introduced 370z,350z n the GTR everyones changed their opinions abit

[scootosan]

133 top speed yeah right not even down hill with a sail

[TigerSupercatE1]

@scootosan how did you come to that conclusion?

[scootosan]

@TigerSupercatE1 see crawler at 0:31

[pixelr0]

ugly

[TWISM1337]

I quite fancy the interior... Thumbs up!

[dailyforman]

i cant hear you

[Ubergood]

not bad..

[willw1995]

No thanks..

[machinegunmana]

dig the wheels

[powersliding]

nice interior

[Turbosaunderground]

Beautiful design of this car.

[allroadca]

I love this car... I wish they have it in Canada, I will get one for sure.

[bambuskola]

i hate 90 secs reviews, make it full one....

[JOHNINCOLUMBUS]

I wish Citroen would sell cars in the United States again, I had a CX GTi back in the 1980's, loved to drive that car...would love to have a new C6.

[Corrosion37]

#LOL

[blesbaupin]

I really want one. But we'll never see it here in Canada. Shame.

[sarokas12]

The most convincing small citröen since the ax gt...

lol that was 20 years ago...

[finnij]

actually it's a 91 second verdict

[tgseason12]

Why is this a DS? It looks nothing like the original and it's actually a very bland looking car.

[SmokeRises]

the french make some seriously hideous looking vehicles

[kagolko]

that's what do you think - because you're stupid American. Everyone else thinks it looks cool

[SmokeRises]

@kagolko you resort to name calling ? how old are you mentally and physically ? the location where one lives has no bearing on his original place of birth. should i have said "we the French make hideous looking vehicles ?" take your time answering that question like say a decade or so when you start to mature a little more

[kagolko]

@SmokeRises - I'm not mature enough. and your nick name is "SmokeRises". hm. btw - why would you watch video about a car that you don't like - except you're stupid and have nothing to do but leave silly comments?

[SmokeRises]

@kagolko lol you have no idea what my screen name means do you ? but maybe you can tell me what it means. another drop out posting comments

[Rik1pk]

what kind of car's do you like?
