Citroën’s DS3 crowned Top Gear magazine ‘Car of the year’
Some say that not only is Citroën’s DS3 the best small car around, it’s the best new car on the road full-stop.
Top Gear magazine certainly agrees, making Citroën’s DS3 its ‘Small Car of the Year’ and also crowning the talented supermini with the highly coveted ‘Car of the Year’ title in the publication’s 2010 awards.
DS3 saw off competition from both supercar and mainstream manufactures including Jaguar, Bentley, Honda, Peugeot, Bugatti, Pagani, and Koenigsegg to take the sought-after top spot as the best new car, winning the magazine’s overall ‘Car of the Year’.
Top Gear said; “DS3 has pulled off that heady mix of ability, excitement and affordability that’s impossible to ignore. It walks so many fine lines so delicately and so comprehensively that it’s hard to find a chink in the armour. The Top Gear Car of the Year is a small, thoughtful, affordable, stylish, fun little hatchback. It’s the people’s champion.”
Linda Jackson, Citroën UK’s Managing Director, commented; “Considering the fierce competiotion, it is a fantastic achievement for DS3 to win the top accolade. DS3 has enjoyed a fantastic first year, winning the hearts and minds of both public and press. In just under 12 months on the road it’s become the ‘must-have’ model in its class.”
DS3 continues to showcase its versatile and distinctive personality with the imminent introduction of two new special edition cars in 2011, the stylish DS3 by Orla Kiely Collection and the hotly-anticipated DS3 Racing.
