TanKianW 1st Gear October 18, 2011 Share October 18, 2011 (edited) I will go for Citroen or Peugeot. Both are good cars. But maintenance and servicing should be high. Edited October 18, 2011 by TanKianW ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teoky Clutched October 19, 2011 Share October 19, 2011 DS3 will be the pick as I think it is really value for money for the THP version. It is using the PRINCE engine from BMW-PSA, the same engine used in Mini Cooper and Peugeot RCZ and some other models. Though the engine put out 156hp which is lesser than the 185hp of the Mini Cooper S, a remap will boost that up to around 205hp and 320Nm ! It is a fast car and with the gearing, you can hit 100km/h using 2nd gear (which can go to 110km/h). Handling is pretty good though there's body roll but it does keep to the line well. The THP suspension is stiffer compare to the regular DS3. If you want better handling, you can install KW or Bilstein coilovers. I think you can't find a car in that price bracket with the style, flair and performance of the DS3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGCMmaomao 6th Gear October 19, 2011 Share October 19, 2011 Hi all, I am thinking of changing car. Currently driving Lancer 1.6 GLX. Went for test drive to try out a few cars... Which one would u pick? 1. Citroen DS3 2. Ford Fiesta 3. Peugeot 207 4. Renault Megane 5. Ford Focus (No test drive units available) Seeking valuable opinions from current owners of these cars... Hi.. All the brands u choose r all low demand in used car market... parts not cheap, unless u got lot of $$ to burn and will drive the car till it's 10 yo then it's really up to u.. I think u get a toyota altis same age with either of the cars u had chose, altis can fetch a better resale price.. My 2 cents worth.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
