Hi All, I am currently the owner of a Saxo (my first car) which I've owned for too long probably. Anyway as there are no new saxos I've been looking at something different. Perhaps a DS3? My budget is £8,000 and I'd like something with a bit more kick to it than my Saxo. I've been looking at this: DS3 not sure if the Diesel version is better? Or even if a completely different model. I am looking for something not to much bigger than the DS3. Thanks!!!
