The description both belittles its potential threat to rivals in the sporty hatch class and belies its considerable, yet greatly underestimated, appeal as a city car. The DS3 is Citroen’s snazzy upmarket, off-centre cousin of the Parisian street car, the C3. It’s interesting because there are hints that the Citroen of old, the one that decided a speedo should be a numbered drum rotating behind a magnifying glass and a believer that indicators shouldn’t have to be self canceling, is back. Not back in its previous eccentric state, more in a slightly anesthetised form. The result is a small car that’s distinctive to the point of being edgy, fun to the drive without being manic, and yet has plenty of practical attributes. Click here for the full review...
