Ride

With DS3 we wanted to create a car that was as finely attuned to your individual style as it was finely attuned to the road. And it worked. Voted the Top Gear Car of the Year 2010, it's official, DS3 is a driver's dream. It hugs the road with responsiveness and vigour, the compact steering wheel just feels right, your seat is set sporty and low, and your choice of three petrol engines and two diesel engines make no compromise on performance or environmental benefit.
