Detailed analysis of the Citroën DS3 Style VTi 120 · 120 CV (2012-2013)
General description
The Citroën DS3 VTi 120 burst onto the market like a breath of fresh air, a manifesto of French style and audacity. It wasn't just a car; it was a statement of intent, the promise of a different and customizable driving experience that made you feel unique behind the wheel.
Driving experience
Driving the DS3 VTi 120 is connecting with the road in a pure and exciting way. Its 120-horsepower naturally aspirated engine delivers power linearly and predictably, inviting you to play with its five-speed manual gearbox. It feels agile in the city and surprisingly poised on winding roads, with precise steering and a suspension that masterfully balances sporty firmness with the comfort needed for daily life. It's a car that brings a smile to your face on every journey.
Design and aesthetics
Design is its soul. Every line of the DS3 screams originality, from its customizable floating roof to the iconic 'shark fin' on the central pillar. It's a rolling sculpture that refuses to go unnoticed. Inside, that feeling of exclusivity continues with a well-built dashboard, chrome details, and seats that embrace you, creating a cockpit-like atmosphere that isolates you from the outside world and immerses you in a premium experience.
Technology and features
For its time, the DS3 offered technological equipment that enriched life on board without being overwhelming. It featured a quality sound system, automatic climate control, and basic connectivity to enjoy your music. The instrument cluster, with its mix of analog dials and a digital screen, added a modern and sporty touch, focusing on the essentials so that nothing distracted from the most important thing: the pleasure of driving.
Competition
In the exclusive club of premium superminis, the DS3 faced titans like the iconic MINI Cooper, the passionate Alfa Romeo MiTo, and the sober and perfectly executed Audi A1. While the MINI offered a more radical drive and the A1 impeccable Germanic quality, the DS3 played its own card: that of avant-garde design, superior comfort, and a French charm that none of its rivals could replicate.
Conclusion
The Citroën DS3 VTi 120 is a purchase made with the heart. It's the perfect choice for someone looking for more than just a means of transportation; it's for someone who wants a travel companion with character, style, and soul. Despite the years, its design remains current and its driving, addictive. A car that left its mark and feels special every time you take the wheel.
