Shopping & Outfit Post : Shopping for a CAR – the Citroen DS3

So if you read my previous post you should know that my current shopping list is currently made up of tyres, wheels and panoramic roofs – basically I’m shopping for a new car. My 9-year old Toyota Aygo has simply gown old and needs replacing therefore…CAR SHOPPING time…I’m currently still compiling a list of my favourites but I did progress to a test drive of the mini cooper, which was awesome.

To recap, what was mentioned in the previous post my job as a fashion stylist means I need to carry lots of stuff around = big boot is ideal. Being a stylist means I run around from place to place and need to find parking in different places = a small car that fits everywhere is ideal. Basically there’s no car on earth that fits this criteria and to make matters worse I’m obsessed with the aesthetics of the car – the colour…preferably two or three colours, panoramic roofs, coloured interiors, bubble or quirky shapes – you get the gist.

So time to continue chronicling this shopping journey…finding the right car for a fashion stylist and the second car.. I’m going to talk about is the Citroen DS3.

The Pros: nice big boot, lovely colours, two-tone colour option, sporty and sleek – really like the exterior of this car, it has a sporty vibe but in a quirky kind of way that still feels feminine in the right colour, it is really stylish and the boot fits lots of stuff, there are also super cool d-dimensional brake lights. 


The Cons: interior isn’t the nicest I’ve seen – it felt a bit bare, there are also no tech features like video playing or app linking and there’s no panoramic roof option.

Final Verdict – I really, really like this car and it seems to be one of the only cars on the market that combines the concept of a city car with a big boot and gives personalisation options.

    I really like the design of this car! Nice choice and taste 🙂 I own the oldie Citoren Pluriel which is a very fun car which gave me many fun experiences with my friends. I imagine this could do the same and more! Enjoy, if you chose this model, or any other new car really 😀
