Citroën DS3 Review - The Independent

Citroen-DS3-The-Independent.jpg

The Independent have published a review of the Citroën DS3. 'So, meet Citroën's new DS. This time it's a range, a sub-brand, a new concept in Citroënism rather than just one car. It arrives as Citroën re-embraces its past, but this is not retro-flavoured in the mould of a Mini or a Beetle. It is instead a more luxurious, more indulgent, more heart-warming alternative to mainstream Citroëns. There will be DS4 and DS5 models, but first, please meet the DS3. Based on the recently-launched C3 super-mini, and vying for buyers tempted also by a Mini or an Alfa Mito, it's a pert-looking, three-door hatchback whose blade-like roof apes the Mini's but whose "shark's fin" centre pillar - which seemingly leaves fresh air between the fin and the roof - is entirely its own.'

The Truth About Cars have published a review of the Citroen C1 ev'ie. 'Open the hood and you see batteries and various electronic gizmos mostly bedecked by plastic casing. It looks clean and assembly-line standard, and not at all improvised. A second set of Lithium batteries is where the gas tank used to be. The trunk, in contrast to the sodium-batteried E-Twingo, is undiminished. So the ev'ie is what the stock C1 is what the Aygo is what the Peugeot 107 is: a lightweight, almost Smart-short car that can transport four and a tiny bit of luggage. (Don't get me wrong: this is no limo, but it certainly beats an original VW Beetle for space. And the room in front is perfectly adequate in all dimensions unless you're a widebody).

The Independent have published a review of the Citroën C3 supermini. 'As of now a mere glass panel in the roof, openable or not, is old hat. In the new Citroën C3 there's an unbroken sweep of complexly curved, gradually tinted transparency from bonnet to beyond the back of your head, punctuated only by the interior mirror. It makes the C3 amazingly airy and curiously vertical in feel, because your field of vision is bounded only laterally. It's like driving a modern, glass-walled telephone kiosk.;

Citroen C3 Test Drive - Auto Express

A review of the Citroen C3 supermini has been posted over at Autoexpress.co.uk. 'Inside, the C3 has taken a big leap forward. It's gimmick-free and very well built, with a stylish dash that features a central silver plastic strip and soft-touch facia. Other neat touches include the thick-rimmed, flat-bottomed steering wheel and a classy row of ventilation controls on the centre console. It would be nice to sit a bit lower, but with reach and rake adjustment, the driving position is good, and there's plenty of room up front. There's lots of light as well, thanks to a panoramic glass windscreen, known as Zenith. This is standard on all VT, VTR+ and Exclusive-trimmed models, but not the base Airdream+ cars. Pioneered on the C4 Picasso, it makes the cabin feel very airy and gives the driver and passenger a unique perspective.'
