Citroen has launched a pair of special edition DS3s – the DS3 DStyle Red & DSport Red – to give New Year sales a bit of a fillip. Price from £15,655. There’s nothing quite like a special edition of an established car with extra goodies for not a lot more money to get footfall in to showrooms, and that’s […]
Citroen DS3 hits 200,000
The upmarket Citroen C3 – the very appealing Citroen DS3 – has hit the 200,000 production mark this week, a little over 2 years from launch. We will hold our collective hands up and confess that Citroen’s decision to revive the DS moniker to stick on a range of tarted up prosaic Citroen cars was something we derided. Sacrilege, we […]
Citroen DS3 Cabrio to get Top Gear Live UK debut
The drop top version of the DS3 – the Citroen DS3 Cabrio – is to get its UK debut at this year’s Top Gear Live shows. There’s been expectation that Citroen would chop the top off the excellent DS3 ever since the tin top version of the DS3 launched 3 years ago, and at the […]
It’s the Citroen DS3 Cabrio
Citroen has revealed the DS3 Cabrio, an open-top version of the very good DS3. Debuts at the 2012 Paris Motor Show. We did expect the Citroen DS3 Cabrio to come with the ‘Airflow’ badge attached, but Citroen has decided to keep it simple, so DS3 Cabrio it is. Interestingly, this isn’t really a cabriolet in […]

Citroen DS3 in the Pink
Citroen are celebrating selling 100,000 DS3s – 10,000 of them in the UK – with new colour options, including a Fuchsia Pink Roof. We love the Citroen DS3; it’s the best car in its sector by a surprisingly long way, and winner of our ‘Best car if you’re paying for it Yourself‘ Award. It’s also Top Gear and Fifth Gear’s favourite […]
Citroen DS3 Airflow (DS3 Convertibe) in 2013
It’s being reported that the Citroen DS3 convertible will arrive in 2013 with a Fiat 500-style sliding cloth roof and a new name – the Citroen DS3 AirFlow. As regular readers can’t have failed to notice over the last year or so, the Citroen DS3 is one of our favourite cars. In fact so good is the DS3 […]
Citroen DS3: Making the most of the Top Gear COTY Award
Citroen are making the most of the accolades the DS3 has received, in particular the Top Gear Car of the Year Award. Those who don’t ‘Get’ cars like to call us Petrolheads. They think it’s a disparaging term. But it’s not. They also think that being a Petrolhead means you’re only interested in the fastest; […]
