Actually I thought I was having deja-vu!

I am expecting to be falling over 100's of them everywhere I go like those
damned Mini's driven (badly) by secretaries.

Doesnt look like a bad place to sit if your having a crash either:

5 star car.

Saw one on Friday with a £15000 price tag, for that sort of money I'd want a proper DS, but then I haven't paid more than £500 for a car this century!

Very interesting. The UK range-topping engine is very similar in output to the CT, except it's a 1.6! And peak torque at 1400rpm.

But why can't they do a straightforward website with technical details on it (without all the crappy Flash)? I want to know what one weighs, but it's not easy to find out...

Thanks Andrew.

1075 - 1165 Kg. Not bad at all by today's standards!

Judging by the second-hand prices of C3s I was looking at a few weeks ago, Cits must be getting more desirable again. This DS3 can only help. Which is good!
