Introduction
It must have been the boredom from lockdown but all of a sudden I was looking for a car with as high a spec as I could find for around 9k. I found this locally and it was by far the best specced / new-ish car I could find. I must admit it's a great looking little car and the spec was fantastic but it was more headache than it was worth as I would find out. One of my favourite parts with this car was the Xenon headlights. They were amazing at night for visibility and looked the part, really set it apart from the other lower spec DS3s. Around £700 odd to replace mind you... It had a twin exhaust tip, spoiler with bigger brake light, LED tail lights and diamond cut alloys. 120hp made it feel like a rocket to me compared to my Fiat's (and Toyota).
It was a fun car to own but about every parking sensor had to be replaced one by one as they failed. The alloys needed replacing out of warranty. And due to a common wing mirror rust issue which was poorly repaired, the thing needed two new doors and a bumper as a local bodyshop practically destroyed it. I sold it soon after and bought my Toyota. I sold it to WBAC for a couple of hundred less than I got it for, making a profit.
