The Citroen DS3 took the rather standard-looking C3 and injected some design flair into the mix, alongside a funky interior and a good level of equipment.

The Citroen DS3 was the car which kickstarted the new wave of DS-badged vehicles. Rivalling the likes of the Mini Hatch and Fiat 500 in the retro-infused compact car segment, the DS3 took the standard C3 chassis and added more style and character.
Only available in three-door form, the DS3 is a great option for drivers looking to carve through the city in a car with a lot of personality. It’s readily available on the used market here at AA Cars, too, so there should be a version right for you.
