Back seats are fine for children â€" my six-year-old daughter was very happy there on the school run â€" but I wouldn’t want to be an adult on a long trip back there…
There are two ISOFIX car seat mounts and two built-in top tether mounts, along with a third top-tether mount (that looks to have been fitted by Citroen Australia as part of ADR) for the centre seat in the back.
In typical French fashion, the cabin storage isn’t really as good as it could be â€" there is a neat phone shelf below the radio, but the cup holder barely fits a take-away coffee, and actually forces the cup to tilt toward the gear shifter.
The high-resolution infotainment screen is a nice quality unit and has all the key features you would expect (navigation, Bluetooth, audio streaming etc.) and even offers a great three-stage trip computer (trip 1, trip 2 and instant data) as well as nifty nerd info like your altitude and current satellite sync status.
I agree that the last two are possibly functions that no DS3 buyer ever will notice…
Pairing a phone and getting around the various interfaces and controls (both on the dashboard and steering column) are not as intuitive or easy to use as you would expect â€" but then you remember it’s a Citroen so bizzaro ergonomics are forgiven (a bit).
There are lots of nice, stylish and well thought out accents that help the Citroen express a sense of quality and premium positioning â€" from the chrome bezels on the air conditioning controls, to the three aluminium pedals.
