C3 is still in production, it has only just come out recently, DS3 is like a prestige/stylish C3.
Has the Citroën ds3 replaced the c3?
Can people just confirm please, that I'm not wrong, and that the Citroën ds3 has NOT replaced the C3?
Also is the c3 still in production?
My girlfriends mum is trying to tell me that the ds3 has replaced the c3, and the c3 is not being made anymore. Aparantly a guy at the Citroën dealership told her this - and he's obviously right not me.
So, have I missed something?

Thing is it's a Citroen. What I don't get with the DS range is why they didn't use another brand. I mean BMW are already going to launch a BMW branded car into this sector and they will upgrade the interiors on future MINI's so they look more grown up and premium. And then I think it will be curtains for the Citroen C3, I mean DS thingy.

Makes no sense.
BMW may launch a car into the same sector and I bet it will still be 30K for a half decent spec one.
Top spec minis are disturbingly expensive. Go on autotrader... if you dare.Why launch under a different brand ?

I dont believe that. My Grandad, after having a 2003 Citroen Saxo for a few years which diddnt cause too many problems (apart from 2 clutches admittedly) got a practicly new C3 earlyer this year (think it was an 09 plate), after starting problems, engine management light coming on and misfiring, and an alternator failure he refused to keep the car and ended up getting his money back and getting an 08 plate Fiesta instead - hasnt given one problem.Citroen are 10th most relible car make now according to reliability index. Fiat are 11th.
Shame really as I prefer the new C3 over the Fiesta he has now, infact at the start of the year I was looking at a new C3 on finance myself, but the problems my grandads had were not acceptable - hence why he diddnt accept it.
I know there not ALL like this - but trust me all these modern Citroens etc. with all these electrics and gizmos, electric handbrakes and computers etc. etc. will give trouble when the car gets a few years old. And when they do get problems, they deffinatly wont be cheap.
Its the same with any modern car though really. They all seem to be prone to electrical gremlins, i dont think its a uniquely Citroen problem.I dont believe that.

Here is the list.
Citroen are 10th most relible car make now according to reliability index. Fiat are 11th.
yeh i had a Punto for a number of years and it was quite reliable but it doesnt alter the fact that build quality was **** and every component looked to be the flimsist, and cheap and nastiest available, which was the same impression i got the last time i sat in a citroen.
But, does that really mean anything? Where did these people get the information from to decide how reliable cars are?
Its information compiled by warranty direct. They supply aftermarket warrantys. So they know exactly what breaks on what car, how often, how long it takes to fix, how long there off the road etc.But, does that really mean anything? Where did these people get the information from to decide how reliable cars are?
But they say a Subaru Impreza Turbo is pretty much the most unreliable car you can buy, and that the Rover Streetwise is the 41st and Rover 45 42nd most reliable cars :S.
Its a joke that reliability index, jags are 30th, Jags are reliable now. Fiat 10th? wtf, they are a joke of a survey.
Im not saying its perfect, i mean look where the MG ZS is... and by all accounts from the guys on here there pretty damn solid. But if you look at the top ten its all the usual suspects.But they say a Subaru Impreza Turbo is pretty much the most unreliable car you can buy, and that the Rover Streetwise is the 41st and Rover 45 42nd most reliable cars :S.
If anyone has the info on what fails on what cars and much it costs to fix, these are the guys who have it.
Another thing to note is that the MG/Rover numbers will be altered by the fact they have had no manufacture warranty etc. Also the amount of data available from each particular car make. Not perfect, but you can see which way the data leans. Reliable = Japanese...
