ive got a lot of love for the DS3, mainlly because citroen took the mini, put a citroen badge on it and made it the new must have car..............thats right they took a bmw, pulled the badges off and replaced them with Citroen ones to make it more desirable

I agree, im not a huge DS3 fan either, though they have grown on me slightly since they came out. I see it as another fashion accessory, much like the 500 and Mini.

The DS9 looks good, though i can't imagine a production version being anywhere near that daring.

i think its longer than a CX safari, as i think the safari is 16' 1" long,

I like that, plus its named after my fav version of Star Trek. Wins all round

Why all the hate for the DS3? seems like a reasonable car.
Personally the standard DS3 bores me as does the standard Mini, however the DS3 racing/sport (like the Mini S) seems like it would be quite a fun drive

Nice

But at what price

Looks lovely and who needs door handles, the butler will open the doors, just leave him inside when you park the car

Actually I expect they pop open a couple of inches when you unlock the car - or it ses you approaching and recognises its owner.

Rear end is somewhat reminiscent of recent Mercedes models. Nothing wrong with that

Like the concave rear screen though, you won't find that on a Mercedes/Jaguar/Lexus/BMW or whatever.

Another thumbs down for the DS3 though. Tacky looking as in form over function.
Don't like the Mini either. Characterless.

I'd almost consider swapping a Xantia for one of those...

One modern cars that's actually desirable and looks a bit good..

It's all low, sleek and curvy.

Lovely...
