I got one of these and i duno why people say its not fun to drive cause it defo is. You can throw it into corners and it grips very well. Its actually 208bhp and the 143mph top speed is not exactly true. Gave mine a decent stretch of road and it got to 151mph so a little more than the top speed DS claim. I can also get very close to 60mpg on long runs with this little thing too. Its just a great car all round.
guys, your reviews are spot on. however it can be even better if you allow us to hear the exhaust noises ir engine noises of any car. I noticed that it is a bit missing in your videos
I got one , they are nice and I agree with the part about it's not quite as fun as some cars to drive but other than that it's a beautiful car that has some decent power . 7/10
Ugh! I really wished many of these "Euro" hatch back cars made it's way to Canada. I'm so tired of the generic look on all vehicles in North America. The closest thing to these kinds of cars are the Fiat 500 which I do have currently and really happy with. I need to move to the UK.
I have 1 of these and also have it remapped and it is rapid very fast and shows a lot of cars up. Especially funny when people compare it to a normal ds3 or a family car
Its beautiful. The only competition would be MiTo Cloverleaf but its a pity that Alfa doesn't make it.. Fiesta and Polo are rubbish cars comparing to DS3
I’ve got one, the suspension is hard, like rock solid, you’ll be buying wishbone bushes every week with the state the roads are in, apart from that, it’s a great little car, I love mine
Innit. This is a compact hot hatch. A45 and Focus RS are super hot hatches. Completely different. Even putting class aside, the A$% has 381 bhp. ow is a DS 3 comparable lol
It's such a girly carl! - said by Polo drivers, mini drivers, and so on ... Guys. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A GIRL CAR, ONLY YOUR HURT EGO THAT TELLS YOU "OMG I DEFINITELY NEED A V8 SO I FEEL LIKE A MAN"... No hate, I love fast and loud cars, muscles are my favorites, but you cannot buy one as your first car, unless you win the lottery or your Patents are rich..
I have the 1.2 thp and the interior is one of the most beautiful out there. The French do know a thing or two about style. Pity that Britain doesn't make cars anymore.
I am/was looking for a 208 BPS or 30th but since they are so hard to find here in NL I was looking a bit further. Found out that this DS3 Performance exists. Didn't even knew about it! Definitely adding it to my watch list as a potential new car.
I might be a bit late to the party with this reply sorry man but just get a Dsport THP instead. With a remap and a decat you’ll have the same power as the Performance but with much cheaper insurance 👍🏻
That's what money hot hatches are going for these days. This is just £500 more than the Fiesta ST200, has more power, torque, and a much classier package over all, especially if you compare both interiors. The best in it's class.
maybe this car doesnt feel as fun as the other you tested because of the engine being pretty small compared to other 4 cylindersto which are still small, the stock sound from the exhaust line is pretty sad, maybe slap an aftermarket line on it it will solve the issue
Test drove one, i think the previous version, it literally had no suspension. Had to stop to avoid sickness. It is the absolute worst car i ve driven in 25 years
I don't realise this car existed until I saw one in a Citroen dealership today. I now know why I haven't seen one since they came out - the price/ LaCostè
Saw one as new/old stock at a price that's very tempting.Haha,guess all those minis,vw golf gtis and such meant its been overlooked.I'd be sorely tempted to get it if I somehow had the money! :-)
I would love to know what you think about the car, but, what does 'far from terrible' and 'awkward' mean? Were you just interested in spouting cliches rather than speaking grammatically so that you could be understood, or is it just snowflake speak?
Ds3 build quality is sh*t! I've got the 1.6 dsport 150 petrol in black and I love the car but forever getting faults! Now needs a turbo as the waste gate is fooked 😢 I've had the water pump and tensioner done as it was rattling! New coil packs, suspension spring, rear engine mount all done already!! Lol oh and the keys flip has broke! I fixed it once myself, now it needs a new casing. It's been looked after and serviced every year! And my Mrs drives it the most and she's a normal driver.
Lol ive just bought one like this and i actually thought it had the wrong size tyres on,turns out they use the size down and stretch them on the rims to give the sporty look,alls good but the alloys are gonna be mushed in no time cause they stick out half an inch 🙈

This is one seriously good looking car. Would be refreshing to see these among all the sheep cars like the Golf and A3.
"driving position is awkward", that tells me nothing. HOW is is it awkward, pls describe your impressions better. thx
I bought one, white. It's a bliss, my only regret is to not have spent a tad more for the black edition here as it just looks stunning...

g00dfeeling 😂 ok
@@smithy3269 ok 😂😂
I get my one next week, very excited!
Craig Tilley How is it??
This car simply blows away all the competition ( awesome)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve got one, the suspension is hard, like rock solid, you’ll be buying wishbone bushes every week with the state the roads are in, apart from that, it’s a great little car, I love mine
Just traded my porsche cayman for the DS3 performance 1.6
This car is outstanding
Fun fast funky and very economical on fual.
Did he just compare the 3 to an A45 and Focus RS? O_O
Yeah completely different levels ahaha
he can't compare to the class the ds3 wins so he can't spin his brand preference and shove it down the viewrs throats..
Innit. This is a compact hot hatch. A45 and Focus RS are super hot hatches. Completely different. Even putting class aside, the A$% has 381 bhp. ow is a DS 3 comparable lol
Hell toe braking. Show off 😊
I have one and it's a must have

Nice car🔥Nice review👍
208 gti (2016). BEST HOT HATCH YET
i have one :) great car..just great
What's it been like mechanically and What mpg do you get?
It's gonna be my first car. I've started working my arse off so I an afford the astronomical insurance prices without a black box XD
I might be a bit late to the party with this reply sorry man but just get a Dsport THP instead. With a remap and a decat you’ll have the same power as the Performance but with much cheaper insurance 👍🏻
So how does it actually compare to the proper DS3R?
It's not for me Johnny boy but again it's not aimed at me cheers Phil
yo tengo uno.. pero el THP 156cv .el bloque motor del mio el mismo del mini. Muy bonito ese color gris mate.
Far too expensive for what it is. At least the DS3 Racing stood out with its orange trim and real carbon fibre.
That's what money hot hatches are going for these days. This is just £500 more than the Fiesta ST200, has more power, torque, and a much classier package over all, especially if you compare both interiors. The best in it's class.
The satin paint is pretty amazing IMO.

He has the same accent like the other guy. Same hometown maybe? Birmingham?
any one still got one of these DS3 Performance 2016? What are the common issue?
Heel toe down shifts! Someone's been practicing
Test drove one, i think the previous version, it literally had no suspension. Had to stop to avoid sickness. It is the absolute worst car i ve driven in 25 years
Nice review!
I don't realise this car existed until I saw one in a Citroen dealership today. I now know why I haven't seen one since they came out - the price/ LaCostè
not expensive at all when you compare it with mini cooper s or audi a1 high performance.
utubeleplague, Unsure how much those cars are but Citroens feel cheap. At least the new sporty diesel DS3's I drive do.
Is that forward wheel drive?
Yes all ds3 fwd
Can you have those alloys on a regular DS3 ? lol
If you've got the money anything is possible 😜
Car Keys UK How much you talking ?

Saw one as new/old stock at a price that's very tempting.Haha,guess all those minis,vw golf gtis and such meant its been overlooked.I'd be sorely tempted to get it if I somehow had the money! :-)
This or a Fiesta ST or ST200? No contest!
This! Has a little more power and torque, plus the car overall is so much more worthy of the price. Just take a look at both interiors
i don't agree with your opinion of the car it's still a good car so i just don't agree with full stop its a nice car to drive full stop my opinion
LOVELY CAR, EVEN IN 2020. review is not doing it for me
This car stands out from the other telling it´s a Citroen(DS), ment to be for mature peoples !
My best punching ball
I would choose the Ford Focus RS
So would I
Why not compare this to something in it's class, like the Fiesta ST200?
I would love to know what you think about the car, but, what does 'far from terrible' and 'awkward' mean? Were you just interested in spouting cliches rather than speaking grammatically so that you could be understood, or is it just snowflake speak?

Get the 208 gti much better
Harsh
Frenchy touch
The annoying hand gesture continues - part 2
You won't want to miss part 3 Randy.
hate these skinny tyres they put on cars it makes them so uncomfortable
Lol ive just bought one like this and i actually thought it had the wrong size tyres on,turns out they use the size down and stretch them on the rims to give the sporty look,alls good but the alloys are gonna be mushed in no time cause they stick out half an inch 🙈
reel vampaya
Citroën wasted this car's potential
