Product Overview

Citroen DS3 Cabrio is an affordable subcompact convertible in production from 2012 to 2015, whereupon it became DS 3 Cabrio. It was available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.2 to 1.6 liters.

Based on the DS3 hatchback, the Cabrio has a sliding soft top but fixed rear quarters. As a result the DS3 Cabrio doesn't offer the full convertible experience. It uses a range of rough engines that, while efficient and reasonably reliable, lack the refinement that one seeks in a convertible, too.

Unsurprisingly, the DS3 Cabrio has a horrendous suspension setup that, again, is bad for driving enjoyment.

Reviewers from carmagazine have found:

It's one of ten coming to the UK of a batch of 100 worldwide. This is the same spec bar the foldback roof, and it's just as capable with the same 6.5sec 0-62mph claim. The most amazing thing about the DS3 Cabrio Racing is the price: a whopping £29,305.

Pros

Gorgeous styling
Fun to drive
Comfortable seats
