Since yesterday March 20 Spanish dealers have available for the new Citroen DS3 Cabrio. This is a version with a large electric sliding canvas roof that can be folded in its entirety. It is best to keep all five seats, the only model in its class with a three-passenger rear bench.
The Citroen DS3 Convertible is offered in Spain with three trim levels (Design, Style and Sport) and four engines (three gasoline and diesel). It is curious that the supply of diesel this necessarily associated with manual six-speed robotized CMP. It is highlighted by a transmission speed or smoothness of operation. Most surprising is the Cabrio versions are priced not excessive in relation to the metal roof. The cost around €1500 extra.

Regarding competition, the Citroen DS3 Cabrio is well located. For example a Fiat 500C TwinAir 85 HP is priced at € 16,950 and with the discount included. Although it has air conditioning, ESP leaves the option and is much smaller than the Citroen. If we set eyes on the MINI Convertible, the distances are enormous. Only the Peugeot 207CC, with major promotions, may be more attractive economically. It has 120 hp and the fare starts at €17,450.
