Even blind can tell that DS3 has the best look, space? mini n audi have 2 seats while DS3 has 3 which are the most comfortable and stylish unique watch-strap design, now think again who has more room. Besides, the camera angel of view at the back seats was too zoomed when showing the ds3 knee room, what is the proof u didnt stick ur knees to the front seat and simply recorded it? because your trying to dis the ds3 no matter what that is why you dont do same knee room angle of view for the 3. Interior? Audi's is a decent one? and looking for practicality in a 3 door style car? LMAO. Biased review.

I ve had a 2010 ds3 1. 6 thp for 7 years, it had 165 000 km on it in the end, I did 145 000 of them. Sure it was fun and engaging to drive, the low 6th ratio makes fuel economy acceptable on long drives ( 6. 5l/100km ) but near the end almost everything on it had to be replaced, the engine block at 25k, new turbo at 90k, clutch at 110k, front springs snapped at 130k, finally the coolant reservoir went just before I sold it last month, fun and economical yes, but be careful about these frenchies

Good one. Agreed, mini would get my vote. After having driven all of the above as well as the Polo, the mini feels the most fun. The A1 feels like other Audis and is very sensible, solid and sturdy. The DS3 is a little tacky and cheap. The polo is a nice good quality all rounder but not sporty enough. The mini has a Great engine range and they perform well with good steering feedback and although the interior is a little gimmicky, just adds to its sense of youthfulness and cheek.

Great review as usual. However to be perfectly fair, it would be better if all models had the same level of equipment (as much as possible at least. It's clear that the Audi is an entry level finition and for sure it does not make it favor. I have a S line version and it's look much more premium and sporty in and out. But well

DS is the best mix of the mini and audi and still best value for money. Mini has better quality interior and best infotainment system and handling so if you want that i think its worth to pay extra. But i dont know why would anyone buy audi. Its worst value, looks dull and cheap to me. It isnt best in anything. I would go for DS.

I own a 2016 DS 3 1. 6 turbo petrol. Top spec. It's a stunning car, gets lots of attention, is fast and sporty, yet sensible and sophisticated. Leather interior completes the car. Everyone that has ever got into it has been blown away. Much better than a bland A1 (teachers car) or the materialistic Mini (female estate agents car.

I still remember when the DS3 was first launched around 2010, how crazy bonkers it looked compared to the rest of the market. I loved it so much I couldn't wait to get my hands on one. Ten years on I think it doesn't stand out as much especially compared to the new Peugeot 208. I'd go for that one over any of these three

The main problem for these cars is, that some regularly priced superminis today are looking just as good as these. Like say the Peugeot 208, Renault Clio, Ford Fiesta and even the Kia Rio. So the design alone can not really justify the premium. The quality of these cars need to go much deeper than that.

Why in the name of all that's holy would anyone want a DS3, when for the same money, you could have a MINI?
Style? There is no style more iconic than the MINI's
Comfort? It's just not the most comfortable.
Technology and reliability? MINI is a BMW brand, Citroen is owned by PSA. Says it all.

The dimensions of the audi kind of look off, like the shape doesn't fit the design very well.
Like the front looks like every other audi you don't get a sense of a1 of it so when you look at it from the front quarter it just looks awkward because it's a big car front and the rest is like a supermini.
