Absolutely love them, seen a grey one without all the stickers over Slough with the 160bhp upgrade.

Anyone driven one got one?

What's this Ferrari one they are selling at 40k a time?

the ferrari one is red and has a plaque inside saying something about ferrari and fiat for 20 years
they weren't available to buy they were only allocated to ferrari dealers and repairers/garages
bodytechnics had two, obviously they can be on sale now though

well at least thats what i was told

I drove a freinds with a tuning box and filter. Cool little car tbh, tuning box and filter made it into a nippy little car too and sounded really nice!

On the flip side... Brakes were SHOCKING! and found it VERY understeery.

Think id rather a clio 197

meh cars tbh, sat in one, nice enough but meh

not a fan of the cream interior and the styling is to retro for my liking, but seemed to go round corners well

Smoke one where? Up a twisty short burst hill in the wet maybe, anywhere else no way.

Love them. They suffer, like all cars in that class seem to, for having EPS with zero feel. Think the Mini and DS3 have a more positive gearshift due to a better linkage but I could forgive a 500 for that because there's something about them that I really like

They're really nice to drive! Plus they have a really high quality feel to them. Only driven the DStyle+ though, so couldn't comment on the DSign which looks a little cheap.

They are too expensive for Citroens mind... The same mate is manager or a Springfield dealer bodyshop and we actually discussed how the ds3 is the best new hot hatch in his opinion

If you like the styling, which I do, then they're fantastic. Woud love to test the DSport and see what they're like with a turbo. Shame they're pretty expensive though, like you say.
