great review! Just bought one of those. Same coulors as well. Second hand (can't afford a brand new one). Going to the garage tomorrow to collect it! Can't wait!! :)
Great review, bought a DSport 1.6 THP after watching this. 1 year on, still puts a smile on my face everytime I start it! Absolutely great reviews, keep it up!
Bob thanks a lot for your review (especially from 4:37 when you say that car put a smile on your face!!!). That's exactly my opinion! It's (nearly) all about emotion :) Next week I get my DS3 racing edition 2013 in black an gold :)). Greetings from Germany
Hiya bob, is it just my youtube, or does the sound not line up half way through the video. I had no idea you reviewed a car that I owned (I have the white one btw). Great review!
sorry to say they are Brembo brakes, just with Citroen racing painted on them, look on the inside 'BREMBO' stamped in the casting! pdi'd one today for a customer, awesome car, the seats are amazing! love it!
The point about how a car makes "YOU" feel is so true... its a pity people don't understand it or there would only be Italian and French cars in the world... what a place that would be. No BMW, no Volvo... just Alfa, Maser, Citroen, Lambo, Fiat and Ferrari. The brands with soul :)
Great review ! i'm soo tired of journalist who focus to much on comparing the car to another on. Good job! Greetings from Norway ! Keep up the good work
I must say that you make really good reviews and unlike most of the car journalists you make out the essence of the car! Very well done! Greetings from Slovenia :)
@AttaboyIII Good point, there would be a lot more car fans in the world if the Euro boxes didn't exist, we would all have grins on a faces while enjoying the drive to work.
very good review, we get sick with other comment which, as you said, they are stupid, we need people like you to tell us what is the real character of this car, I just bought one and is waiting for the delivery, thanks again!! Jason
@andysonline Thanks Andy! More on the way, Audi A4 International launch, Jeep Compass, Audi Q3 full review, Chrysler Delta, Citroen DS4.. all before Christmas :D
@Lostspirit221 Thanks very much, music is very important to the visual experience so there's huge thought goes into every video. Unfortunately RUclips doesn't like all the choices :D
Any progress on that? And for that matter the renewed C5 (with Hydroactive 3+ suspension - now there`s a heritage from the original DS) and maybe the elegance on wheels the C6? When can we expect those reviews?
I'm afraid I didn't get the chance to video the DS4 it was a mad week when I had it. Great little car if a little weird looking. If there's one around when I'm chatting to Citroen again I'll get one for you.
i am about to buy one tomorrow....2012 model....white/black though. Many of this model had problems with their engine....the one i am looking at have a new engine (driven 12 000km) Have friends who tells me not to buy this car.....what do you say...it been a few years since this review. The last 16 years i have driven a Golf GTI 1.8T 20V. Now its time to let her go :(
I own 207 Le Mans Series, same engines. Don't forget that these engines internals are build to handle 285 BHP and 400 NM. Just you need to increase turbo boost, that's if you can handle the power ;) using stock turbo and engine, just better performance intercooler and exhaust
There's 3 words to describe this car Quiet (even though the 1.6 litre 204bhp engine is turbocharged) Fast (Not as fast as a Clio Cup but managed to do a lap 5 seconds faster than that car on an episode of Top gear) and Comfortable
i hate to say it but the mini JCW it's much better than the ds3 R , cause i have one DS3 R and my mother has the jcw and she won by alot ! it was ridiculous but i still loving it
This has to be the most genuine reviewer I've ever seen. Straight to the point and doesn't beat around the bush.
Arconic Thanks very much!

And?!

You reviews are friggin genious... so realistic, so informative.. I love it, keep 'em coming man, you are the best!!
Hiya bob, is it just my youtube, or does the sound not line up half way through the video. I had no idea you reviewed a car that I owned (I have the white one btw). Great review!
These need to be brought into America. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE LET THAT HAPPEN!

I nearly got 1 6 years ago went ds3 diesel for 3 years, then moved onto 1.2 puretech, now have the performance black 😘 great cars lots of fun 👍
I must say that you make really good reviews and unlike most of the car journalists you make out the essence of the car! Very well done!
Greetings from Slovenia :)
Bought one of these after checking your review, haven't looked back since...
I'm glad you're enjoying it, I'm sure there's nothing to look back at with the rear view mirror empty!
+Bob Flavin -any problems with the car? Can it run on ROn 97 petrol?
@AttaboyIII Good point, there would be a lot more car fans in the world if the Euro boxes didn't exist, we would all have grins on a faces while enjoying the drive to work.
Hello Norway! I'm glad you're enjoying the reviews, many more on the way!
Something wrong has happened to the video as the audio starts from the beginning half way through the video
I msut say I'm more than pleased by this review. It's my first time watching one of your reviews, but definitely not my last (:, keep it up.

@andysonline Thanks Andy! More on the way, Audi A4 International launch, Jeep Compass, Audi Q3 full review, Chrysler Delta, Citroen DS4.. all before Christmas :D
Great review I love this bloke .
Just so you know the brakes are brembo rebadged as citroen
@Lostspirit221 Thanks very much, music is very important to the visual experience so there's huge thought goes into every video. Unfortunately RUclips doesn't like all the choices :D
lucky, I'd love to have one...I still miss that car
I know a few race drivers who are saving their money for one!
Excellent Car and a great review!
Any progress on that?
And for that matter the renewed C5 (with Hydroactive 3+ suspension - now there`s a heritage from the original DS) and maybe the elegance on wheels the C6?
When can we expect those reviews?
Another happy viewer, I'm glad it worked out for you!
Bob Flavin audio isn’t work some reason it starts from the beginning again while the video carries on a normal
Mine comes in saturday, also second hand with 20000 km's
You bought the DS3 R or "normal" DS3 1.6 THP with 156 BHP?
I absolutelly love the DS3.
nice review ;D love the intro song..really fits the car:)
Will you do the Citroën DS4 this year ? I absolutely love your reviews ! Keep the style ;D Cheers from France ;D
I live in the US, and I wish this car was over here!
I'm afraid I didn't get the chance to video the DS4 it was a mad week when I had it. Great little car if a little weird looking. If there's one around when I'm chatting to Citroen again I'll get one for you.
@ruairi50 Cheers Ruairi, I put a lot of stock in what you say so it's much appreciated
i am about to buy one tomorrow....2012 model....white/black though.
Many of this model had problems with their engine....the one i am looking at have a new engine (driven 12 000km)
Have friends who tells me not to buy this car.....what do you say...it been a few years since this review.
The last 16 years i have driven a Golf GTI 1.8T 20V. Now its time to let her go :(
bamselings so did you buy it?
I own 207 Le Mans Series, same engines. Don't forget that these engines internals are build to handle 285 BHP and 400 NM. Just you need to increase turbo boost, that's if you can handle the power ;)
using stock turbo and engine, just better performance intercooler and exhaust
Is that the same engine as the one in the Peugeot Rcz?
love this review
You guys seem to miss out on some great little cars over there. You should write some letters to Citroen and get them to bring you one of these
There's 3 words to describe this car Quiet (even though the 1.6 litre 204bhp engine is turbocharged) Fast (Not as fast as a Clio Cup but managed to do a lap 5 seconds faster than that car on an episode of Top gear) and Comfortable
I live in the US, and I absolutly
I'd rather have the DS3 here in the States than that God awful (in my opinion) Fiat 500
i hate to say it but the mini JCW it's much better than the ds3 R , cause i have one DS3 R and my mother has the jcw and she won by alot ! it was ridiculous but i still loving it
it does have Brembo brakes tho, at least mine does they just painted citroen on it :)
@846524162 Thanks very much, we'll keep the reviews comingas long as you keep watching
yes , the only diference in these cars is the size of the turbo and the ECU that in the end changes the BHP and torque
whitch is the song at the end??
Dreamscape
keep your Hyundaï and don't touch our little-big racing cars ! ^^
the chassis of the DS3 is the same than of the C3
Oh god I have no idea why people like that disgusting fiat 500 over here in the UK. So glad to hear you think the same lol
I thought the 0-100 should be 6.5 secs
if you do it well you can make 5 secs its the driver not the car
hilarious !
I live in T
100 ! , totally made me jump :D
05:17 from second ... to turd lol
American? Thought so.
Da fuk, all I see is the guys face not the car
Ive got one i love it and its just the 1.6 diesel
