New Ds3 Blue

[Piglet]

Hi,

    Just got one. You can really feel that extra torque. I would really like a chip/switch antilag system since my wife seems to have forgotten about power bands and she's forever trying to accelerate fast onto a busy roundabout - only to find that she left it in second.

 

The stop start works well (only when engine warm & battery charged), it's just a bit odd.

The lights and other do-dahs are mostly pointless.... and more to fix. No switch - automatic.

The ride is firmer - body control better.

It has one good anti-crash device - if it sees your about to run into something, it brakes (thank god).

 

I think this is the one to get, but I severely doubt the 3rd version (should there be one) will just end up worse.... hope I'm wrong.

 

Hope that helps.

I think the DS3 is possibly one of the best looking cars around, even Top Gear seemed to like it. Which engine does your car have ?

 

I am not sure if you are asking for any advice on a chip or not in this topic but in a few days I will move it to the DS3 section.

I did a quick internet search but could not find anything on any Citroen recalls.
