When I was a kid , my father had Citoen Diane . I had soft roling roof , which when roled you just clamp above rear hatch (it was normal hatchback). For better roof support , it had between B pilars thick bar , on whick I can hold while standing on back seats. I was not fast, but it had good ground clearance , great for picnics and it was super comftable. If only Yugoslavia was not at sanctions at that time and we could buy engine oil and petrol with less than 50% wather, I would still drive it.
Good question. Britain converted to the metric system for weights and measures in the early 70's. However, it was always a slow and gradual process rather than an overnight change. For a reason that no one seems to know the answer to, fuel measures were converted to litres but miles per gallon persist. Maybe it was the cost of changing millions of road signs to kmh. We still have lots of examples of imperial and metric measures running in parallel.
Gallons are used for liquids while as in the case of grams per kilometer , thats used when measuring output of CO2 , Grams used for gasses and dry volumes. Basically the same reason you have Gallons for fuel ( 2.31 cubic inches ) and Dry Gallons ( roughly 2.69 cubic inches ) for dry commodities like grain in the states although I am not sure if you still use Dry Gallons.
Glovebox is tiny because the British have the steering at the right side and the fuses are still on the left. This is why only the right hand drive DS3 has this tiny glovebox. Wating for my DS3 hatchback and perhaps there are some small updates after French holiday at Citröen.
We use grams per kilometre as we are part of Europe and thus the European union so we have to use their measurements however I believe that some parts of Europe use MPG. There you go the worlds most long winded answer ;-)
I'm sorry but this is not a cabrio!!! Citroen, you have ideas (C3 pluriel ) but you need to work on engineering and implementing them to customers' service not to show them as ideas only! Rebecca you made some very convincing points, once again!!!
Excellent, no cupholders, that's what I want to hear. I've never understood this fascination that some reviewers have with cup holders..., total lack of imaginations. I mean, how many people do you know that get together with their friends for coffee .. in a car ?
The individual themselves or your front seat passenger might have/want a hot drink if on their travels. Really not hard to understand the purpose and usage of cupholders.
@@thesilentgametestr I well understand the purpose and use of cupholders. The point I'm making is that so many reviews put overmuch emphasis on the presence of, or number, or position of cup holders rather than the overall abilities of the car.
Again the glove box issue. Sorry but I can easily fit in my glove box, the manual, my papers, hammer, ice scratcher and my cd's. The audio system got completely forgotten which is a shame since it is pretty useful (aux,usb,bluethoot...) and good with the sub. I have to agree on the cup holders thing and the door storage compartments, that is pretty bad but even so the room in the back is also not that bad. I'm 6.2 and have been sitting in the back with a same size person in front and it was fine. I have to say that this review channel is pretty biased. Always saying that a mini is better and thus renders this car worthless... I say unsubscribe.
Who's going to buy this car? A single professional young woman that only goes away for weekends? Rebecca, would you buy this type of car? You are the target market!!
What's the point of this car? It's not really a convertible, just a retracting roof which blocks the rear view and the boot. And to make it worst, no place for bananas.
Why do you always pronounce cabriolet incorrectly? Lol! It's cab-RIO-lay, not cab-ril-ay Love your reviews so much though... I've just watched 20 in a row #SatNightIn
Her style of review has changed for the better. Much more relaxed

The weather has finally warmed up. 25 degrees C and clear, blue skies!

That isnt a cabriolet thats a car with a giant sunroof
Officially, the UK is metric. Metric is usually used formally, while imperial is used colloquially.
Now I'm going to re-watch all the CB videos again to find that lovely pink thermos mug.

how can you see back if the roof is down ?
Hey! we are talking about a DS3 here! Very good driving experience!
As a BMW enthusiast kudos to Citroen, event though it would take too much to lure one away !
The boot reminds me of the original Mini!
on gas station. are prices per gallon or per liter?
Don't forget the British gallon is different from the gallon used in the US. Just to make things easy.
Graham better never go to the beach as he just might totally flip out in anger.
okay, now do the DS3 WRC, because I like one of those very much :)
Really informative, Thank you
This car is the best joke in its class and I want one!
a smart brabus and merc cla review would be perfect
How do you get it into sunshine mode? Been trying to research but found no answers :(
Oh look the Pluriel is back in new clothing.
Few years later you will find yourself holding an umbrella while driving lol

Her eyes are amazing
If not for rebecca I'd never finish watching this review.
DS was line of extra super innowative new cars but this is just normaln citroen that end an mechanic faster than light
Convertible? It's a sun roof.
shiny surfaces for the interior is a bad idea. it's not a problem in the UK, but in sunny Greece, trust me, you'll regret it... :-)
well i wasnt wondering why you didnt open the roof..apparently it was raining..
Review the Fiat 500C Abarth please?
Honest question: Why do your Brits use Miles per Gallon but then use grams per kilometer? Why not stick with one system or the other?

@@andrewpreston4127 my thermos doesn't spill a drop, no cup holders on the passenger seat it goes lol
Looks like the boot lid can easily chop a few fingers off as it shuts.
if i had to choose between DS3 cabrio or 500c, id take the 500c but Abarth version only
still waiting for the new leon review...
II like this car, and review.
We also buy our fuel in litres instead of gallons :)
My favorite bomber girl!!!
I want to know what she drives...
Did anyone heard that rattle at 2:29?
Good review
Doe it ever get warm in that place. May and still using sweaters? Gee.
same thing here in the philippines. people here never stick to one system. >.
where is my 208 gti test?
They should've called it Pluriel.
fact. citroen is way more reliable than mini. especially diesel engines, unbreakable.
Since when is 47.9 MPG impressive?
really now? a joke? the racing version has 210HP and an amazing design, better than any hatcbacks out there

Two seats in the back are better than Non ?
Count the rear seat belts again Luv 🙄
The boot can fit a small luggage and plenty of bananas.
Why do Americans use miles per gallon but then use liters to measure engine displacement
it's better using grams per kilometer than using tons per kilometer as the American do
Who's going to buy this car? A single professional young woman that only goes away for weekends?
Rebecca, would you buy this type of car? You are the target market!!
of course she is British!)) but not any Brit accent sounds like her ;)
What the hell, it's not a cabriolet, it's just a glorified sunroof.
surprising nice inside :D
Atleast it isn't as bad as the Evoque Cabriolet :S Or even the Murano :L
They should of made the boot so tailgate folds down
I'd like to go away for a week... but I can't!
I wandered how can u be dutiful like that
Oh my. Was there a car being reviewed here? All I could see was a mighty fine lady. :-)
"what the use to having this ass if you aint even gonna throw it. I say throw that ass! throw that ASS!" = great review!
They may call that panoramic sunroof, but it definetely isn't convertible.
Sorry, was not meant for you. I meant more generally.
The freckle on her chin makes up for it though. ;)
@2.05 roof open @2.10 roof closed
Both are wrong. Use the metric system, or use the imperial system. You can not use both or a mixture. Vive le système métrique!!
grams per km is a european measurement
No banana test :(
I have to say, Rebecca Jackson is so damn beautiful :)
Since when did cars with overgrown sunroofs become convertibles ? This car's a joke. Nice, optimistic review though.
Is it me or does she say "And comes in three Gizes" (1:14)
yeh point well made!!
They stole all those tricks from the FIAT 500c.
because they cant make up their mind on which system to choose.
That Boot is pathetic
No cup holder? Thats poor
What's the point of this car? It's not really a convertible, just a retracting roof which blocks the rear view and the boot. And to make it worst, no place for bananas.
Well it's a Citroen, i wouldn't expect much. Besides being a complete Mini rip off...
it's just a big sunroof...that's no real convertible.
Seems to be Citroens' forté
banana test LOL
presenter is beautiful
3:46 hold it riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight there lady...
No space for bananas?! OMG! :(
that is not a cabrio. they need to figure out a name for this.
Very nice sweet girl! I like her British accent
No it is not. When will you learn about cars and platforms and what it all means? Never I suppose...
Because our government is lousy and never follows through fully with anything - hence, loads of half finished solutions.
Why do you always pronounce cabriolet incorrectly? Lol! It's cab-RIO-lay, not cab-ril-ay
Love your reviews so much though... I've just watched 20 in a row #SatNightIn
They are Different words
a nice girlie's car
well , she is british ...
sir alex ferfuson retired!!!
Shes gorgeous (The girl that is)
UK accent is so sexy
that boot is a a freakin' hand bag in denial. too tiny to pass.
Beautiful lady sorry my English is verry bad!
