Top Gear has declared their car of the year as the brilliant Citroen DS3. Bravo – an outbreak of common sense for COTY polls. We’ve seen some pretty barking ideas about what deserves to be a Car of the Year. The most barking of the contenders has been the Nissan LEAF, a car that is […]
Citroen DS: Citroen Survolt to become Citroen DS Roadster?
Citroen are planning on turning the Citroen Survolt Concept in to a production Citroen DS Roadster, launching a DS3 Convertible and Limited Edition DS3s. Yes, we admit – yet again – that we thought Citroen would simply badge-engineer their perfectly competent – but less than exciting – C3, C4 and C5 as DS3, DS4 and […]

Part 2 of our week long review and road test of the Citreon DS3 DSport 1.6i 16V THP 150. With the DS3 Citroen has got just about everything right (well, apart from a short-lived, poor-taste anti-retro advert or two) from the cool, funky and incredibly contemporary exterior to the equally cool – and very upmarket […]

We spend a week with the first of Citroen’s DS Range – the Citroen DS3 DSport 1.6i 16V THP 150 – for a review & Road Test. Is it just a tarted-up C3, or a true MINI competitor? Citroen has a long and noble history of ploughing its own furrow. They may sometimes have struggled […]

Citroen DS3 Convertible coming
Today’s rumour says that Citroen are going to be making a Citroen DS3 Convertible. Blow me down with a feather. To be entirely fair, this is one of those really tenuous stories that you wish had more detail, but doesn’t. There is just enough – and only just enough – to warrant running a story, but no […]
Citroen DS3 – the ‘Coolest Car in the world’
The Citroen DS3 has been named #6 on Stuff Magazine’s ‘Cool List for 2010, along with such coolness as the iPad and Dyson’s bladeless fan. The coolest car in the world, eh? That’s quite some statement to make about a badge-engineered, mass-produced small hatch. And although we can’t say we agree with the conclusion, we […]
Citroen DS3: Design a DS3 Roof competition.
Citroen has launched a competition to design a new dash and roof graphic for the Citroen DS3. The winning design will go in to production in 2011.

Citroen DS3: Monroe & Lennon Ads. Just wrong
Citroen has created adverts for the new Citroen DS3 using dubbed footage of Marilyn Monroe and John Lennon. Tacky. When we first heard that Citroen intended dragging the DS moniker out of the bin marked ‘Citroen’s Credible History’ we were a little disparaging. To stick a badge on a super mini that came from a legendary Citroen […]
