Citroen DS3 review - CarBuyer

[MacGyver920]

On EVERY SINGLE VIDEO showing ANYTHING European, there are some Americans talking shit, and that's all they can do. And because they are so donkey dick sucking stupid, they don't know that they basically are Europeans. If it hadn't been for Europe, they wouldn't exist. And the thanks for making the USA, is hating on Europe because of false claims and Germany.

Citroen starts building spaceship

[28rampage]

you know you're getting old when you worry about comfort more than performance lol..

[Halliday57]

Don't get the shiny black dash it shows up dust a lot

[ltfenn88]

@Halliday57 Or just clean your car?

[eprahsL]

Piano Black is never good. Sucks fingerprints and dust from miles away.

[ltfenn88]

@eprahsL Or just clean your hands?

[eprahsL]

@ltfenn88 You can have the cleanest hands and piano/shiny black will still have your finger prints off.

[ltfenn88]

@eprahsL Just joking, my phone is the same

[TheAlexFarn]

My mum has a Mini Coopers S Convertible. Looking to swap it in for something a bit easier going on fuel. Would this car be a nice replacement? (Id be looking for a 2nd hand one though)

Very good review btw, nice to see a all round look at the car :)

[felixStuff]

I dont trust people who wear shoes like him

[Mejevoli]

Fuck you citroen -_- sell some of these cars in the philippines and you'd be freakin rich :)) That's what's in now adays.

[TheOriginalShifty]

If Top Gear ever needed a staff change I wouldn't mind watching this guy :)

[roggerfrogger2]

Haha Jeremy Clarkson was right

In the beginning it does look like your driving a shoe

[JimmyDitty]

don't you americans already have enough? you cannot have more you know. you already have EVERYTHING!

[Adayum27]

just realised how much i want cup holders in a car

[Amero1]

This is much good looking than the Mini which is too much over priced.

[derguru1245]

It's a womens car...

[wikiih]

@derguru1245 yes I have one and it sure attracts women =D

[BassEbuwa]

As great as your videos are, why do you criticise the glove box in the DS3 when, in the C3 review, you say it's a 'decent size' even though they're exactly the same?

[MrMadpenguin]

This is the best car of 2011.

[paypointpal]

This is what my instructor has, i'm learning to drive in one. :-)

[Trouduku12345]

He says a mini is fun to drive and the DS3 is not as fun ? Well, the first one breaks your spine and the other one is comfortable. Plus, amongst many many differences, the mini has no trunk, you can't fit adults on the back, its price is ridiculous...

[jeff24984]

That cars great and you can pick your own colours,the guy who does the Carbuyer reviews has nothing good to say about any car he reviews.

[TheswedishDane]

getting into the rear i not that hard, unless you make it hard or have a big behind a some "cough" instead of just engaging the handle you shoul try to do as its supposed to do. you engage the handle and then shove the frontchair forward voila, you have a nice big entry to the back, my kids loves to drive this little sportscar and prefer it over our other cars, dont search for flaws that not there

[kolhauer]

lovely pretty nice carr, excellent to much better than the c3 2008

[moneshmahtani]

Mini is a hatchback??

[enzoste]

No entendi un carajo, un traductor por favor, ajjaaj pero el auto es hermoso!!

[dnbveno]

Really good reviews, but why are you acting so agressive while reviewing? like U're on drugs... chill :)

[sequentialgear]

oh no!!!no cup holders!!!

[Annihilator1111]

the 2009-present Citroen DS3 is assembled in

Poissy, France

[ClarophonistCJ]

I don't understand how Citroen think it is safe to fit 3 seatbelts in the back. Mat isn't a very big guy and he perfectly illustrates that there's only room (just!) for 2 (or one fat person...)

[000Nagby000]

@ClarophonistCJ we have a car like that and i can perfectly fit in the middle rear with 2 other people :p

[wikiih]

I have the DS3 1.6 HDi 112 bhp and i have to say... I LOVE THIS CAR!!

[WhiteSlayerOwnz]

dont drive a citroen in germany, everybody will laugh at you, this car looks ok, but the other ones are very ugly

[ContreJours]

@WhiteSlayerOwnz C5 ugly? C4 and C4 Picasso ugly? DS4 ugly? They are far less ugly than all the Passat, Golf, Touran that there throughout Germany, for sure you do not want to laugh when you see one of these cars but to commit suicide ...

[derbigpr500]

@WhiteSlayerOwnz Nobody will laugh at you if you drive a Citroen, unless they're stupid, in which case, nobody cares if they laugh...because, well, they're stupid.

[TheDM75]

@GamerAndReviewer what u talking about. Citroen is great

[adamc260]

@GamerAndReviewer - Good job they're co-designed with BMW then?

[JeremyTMN]

I recently bought this and it's simply an amazing car. Very comfy, beautiful interior and quite fast.

Nice review tho :)

[Jetstarboy]

I Have the DS3 1.6HDI and it averages 60mpg what a great car

[tehdrama1]

the only reason the ds3 isn't as pointy in a corner as a mini is that when you hit a pothole on the road you wont be needing a therapist for your back

[NathanaelsFilms]

@omgitshardtofindID well ive heard it wrong then, my neighbor just moved here from the UK. I asked him about it and thats what he said. oh well, it doesn't matter...

[applesmnch2]

Why doesn't this come to the u.s. Can't stand all the boring sedans here that make me fall asleep :(

[streesmut70]

2 aren't J'aime

[JessR989]

why cant we have cars like this in the US? =(

[AdrianC12345]

@JessR989 Because the fat asses here in their Caddys don't like them. D:

[tankepavoneII]

@JessR989 Because you can buy, Porsches, Audis, BMWs, Aston Martins, at lowest prices ever.

Here in sudamerica, Argentina, we have this model without the touch screen display :/ And it's sold at the same price than in Europe.

[joshieboi005]

@JessR989 I thought they did but they were never very popular?

[NathanaelsFilms]

@JessR989 Safety issues. EuroNCAP's standards are lower than America's.

[saladpasta]

@JessR989 Probaly because the US gets EVERYTHING! including chocolate >.>

[dajudahzlion]

@JessR989 Because american cars wouldn't sell.

[lyaacoubicham]

@JessR989 no french car's in the US x'(

[MacGyver920]

@JessR989 Because most of you Americans hate Europe, so therfore you won't drive our cars. It's your own fault, really.

[T966ER]

@MacGyver920 At least our gas isn't $10+ / gallon and we don't have to drive tiny pieces of shit

[MacGyver920]

@T966ER Why on earth are you watching a review of the brilliant Citroen DS3 then?

[T966ER]

@MacGyver920 Why not? ;)

[MacGyver920]

@T966ER Because it's a tiny piece of shit? :)

[paulicapopcorn]

@T966ER stupid americans , we don't use 'gallons'

[DietSoap3]

@MacGyver920 Protip: People like you are why. It's your own fault, really.

[MacGyver920]

@DietSoap3 Typical American reply. Doesn't make sense WHAT SO EVER.

[DietSoap3]

@MacGyver920 1/10, that's the best I can do.

[MacGyver920]

@DietSoap3 Right?

[lipicsai]

@JessR989 because in the us all everybody wants its to be huge....

[swiv2d]

@JessR989 cause us and canada have mainly high ways but they are slowly making their way into the us in more crowded city areas.

[jlferreira12]

@JessR989 Why can't we have Mustang's, Camaro's and Charger's at regula prices. In Portugal, a 06 Mustang costs 65.000 Euros. It's about $84.000. =( (But i just receive my DS3 1 week ago)

[dennis57980]

@JessR989 because citroen is not imported in the US that's why!

[takizzzzzzz]

@JessR989

i wish i could live in america...i'm from greece and we have fucking taxes for everything,even for the car...for example if you have a 2L car you got to pay a lot but in us you dont have to pay a thing...believe me you are very lucky you leave there...go get an American Muscle car....probably a shelby or a mustung these are great cars :D btw it is now only in greece the problem with the taxes about cars almost all over eu i think

[MacGyver920]

@JessR989 Because you don't want them. Cause to you, Europe is ''the evil country where Adolf Hitler lived'', lol.

[Afsar309]

Is it possible to step out of the back seat of a 3 door car in a dignifying manner? Just curious.

[monkeyboy85]

@Afsar309 no, lol

[ramparus]

@Afsar309 mazda rx-8 way...

[DHFrame]

This car is people who like to show off their material things to freinds. It looks good but is lacking in usefulness, and it looks like a van........for girls.

[jammy41]

stop pointing at me dude

[posro1988]

quit complaining about small cars not handling as well as mini, it's simply not gonna happen

[adriannippy]

The DS3 really looks very good. Quirky in a way only the French can pull off. Makes the AUdi A1 look almost boring.

[DynastyQg9]

Sexy little ride..

[00kirbyd]

No bloody cup holders and terrible stowage space? That's enough to make me buy a mini, come on Citroen, it was a great car up until you missed out on the essentials the driver needs.

[seauryakumar]

@00kirbyd you have to agree with this but Mini is very common these days and the DS3 is not. The DS3 is almost 90% there on level of a MIni and I would buy it, you’re getting a lot.

[00kirbyd]

@seauryakumar True, but doesn't it already look alot like a mini, especially with most of them curently being painted with a white roof!

[judah777]

Why didn't you turn the owner's manual "sideways" instead so that it would fit; it's VERY obvious that it fits if placed properly/sensibly ?

That's an unfair misrepresentation of the car's glove-box.

[cilvagold]

Very funny how you placed the manual in the dash...... searching desperately for flaws are we?

Thanks anyway.

[Deltamike23]

@cilvagold Front: beautifull!!!

Back: Bloody horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[davetwigan]

@cilvagold thats where they put the manuel for my car when i bought it, just an example to show how small it is when u cant fit that in there

[cilvagold]

@davetwigan I don't know how big your manual is, but mine fits just perfectly. Along with the emergency hammer (which I still haven't placed), a window ice scraper, a pair of gloves and a couple of cd's.

How big does a glove compartement have to be anyways? what else would you want to put in there? How much does it differ from other small cars?

[lithag]

@cilvagold lol the manual thing made me laugh so hard

citroen should feel ambarrest

[sixstringsentence]

@cilvagold I think it's probably because as a reviewer it's his job to search for things people would find as flaws...I mean he mentioned there was no cupholders. Minor problems but problems none-the-less

[Matticitt]

@cilvagold Well, the glovebox is actually very small but the manual will fit with some other things too ;) The most anoying thing is the lack of cupholders. Not a single one.

[leoncarbon]

@cilvagold isn't it a good thing to find out every flaw it has to inform us? so we don't end up buying it and regret later on?

[moegul8]

@cilvagold my car and everyone i know keeps the manual in the dash, so relevant for us and a good indicator of space, small dash's annoy me so i guess its you whos looking for flaws
