DS3 Crossback is all about avantgarde styling, driving pleasure and hi-tech. It's also the return to the best of Citroen. The DS3 Crossback is so quirky, we'll remember it fondly in half a decade. But is someone crazy enough to buy one today?
Starting price: 23 500 euro
As tested: ~37 000 euro

Stopped watching this review on a position where he couldn't use those awesome door handles.. It was so fake and he did it on purpose.. I was on DS store few days ago and I tested those door handles and they worked as expected on first try. No issues at all.

@@MarekDrives Your usual narrative with French cars is negative. Your criticism of the sloping rear seats comprising boot shape, for example. Would you bring that up in a VW review? No chance.

@@scoopermg8226 I liked C4 Cactus, C4 Picasso, C3 Aircross, 3008, etc., so I wouldn't say my usual narrative with French cars is negative. I owned a French car for 12 years, and I generally liked it. It's not my fault the French seem to excel at making impractical vehicles. Which brings us to your VW reference - if only VW made impractical quirky cars, I would point that out too.

A car like this will always provoke a variety of opinion, I agree, but to level criticism such as the sloped rear seats impacting on usability of the boot is bizarre..... EVERY car is affected by this but it's s big deal on a french car. No way would you bring it up for a German car. "It's good that there are people who are crazy enough to buy it" There is no way on earth that the "gadgets for the sake of being hi-tech" comment would be made on a Range Rover or Lexus review.

Sorry, but you're not using the door handles correctly. There is no need to touch the handles at all, force closing or force opening the handles. The only time you need to touch the handles is when you want to enter the car when the handles are already popped out The Proximity Keyless Entry will only work as you approach the car and not if you have been standing by the car for a while.. Unlock button on the key fob will pop out all handles.

Thank you so much for saying mostly negatives, because thats what everyone cares. You are really one of few saying real and even not good information.

No, and you said it was a decent drive. I follow a number of car review channels some provide reviews that are always positive no matter what. Some focus purely on entertainment feeding into preconceptions and scoring easy jibes and asides for fun. Some seem balanced and professional giving good and bad and providing an unbiased review that adds real value (in my opinion) to a car buyer or someone who wants a genuine review. My reflection was that this review seemed different from the norm as I believe you fit into the latter style. The constant prodding of the door handles at the start of the review (I don't disagree that it's a gimmick some makers use) seemed to feed a frustration that never left. Just my opinion. I enjoy your channel but was just surprised at the 'style' of this review. It seemed different to the norm.

I've owned a DS3 1.6 THP from 2012 for a while and loved that car. Currently own an Opel Insignia Sports Tourer 2.0 CDTI which is good for longer trips but since I moved it's getting too big to park anywhere. I mainly do highway driving and am a bit stuck between a few cars (still need to test drive). Just going by heart I'd go with DS again, but there's just so much choice these days. My current options are: DS3 Crossback 1.2 Puretech automatic DS4 1.2 Puretech automatic Opel Mokka 1.2 Puretech automatic Ford Puma 1.0 Ecoboost MHEV Peugeot 2008 1.2 Puretech automatic Subaru XV 2.0 e-Boxer CVT Mazda 3 2.0 e-Skyactiv X automatic

@declde

@@MarekDrivesENG Taxes are getting very expensive, that's the problem right now. It's roughly 600 every year and when looking at current consumption of 7L/100km and 2500km every month, I spend roughly 350 EUR to buy diesel. Looking at newer petrol engines, let's say 6L/100km when cruising highway, that would be about 255 EUR a month. Tax for the 1.2 Puretech is 90 EUR every year. My Insignia is also approaching 150.000km so can assume more costs to follow. That's why I think it's interesting to look for something new :) I also really want to get a petrol, I chose diesel for the longer distances but still hate driving it. Taking my girlfriends' 2018 Opel Corsa with 1.4 petrol (90hp) is a joy to drive. Current price diesel: 2.000 EUR/L Current price petrol: 1.7 EUR/L Year tax Insignia: 600 EUR Year diesel Insignia: 4200 EUR Year tax DS3 Crossback 1.2 Puretech: 90 EUR Year petrol at 6 L/100km: 3060 EUR

I am a PSA fan, and many of the comments section will disagree with me, but I don't like this car, it looks like they quickly added an extra door to the DS 3. I liked the styling of the DS 3 but it just doesn't work for a 5-door car. A lot of the comments are also saying the doorhandles are easy and that you're overreacting. I disagree, your concerns about the doorhandles are valid. They add an extra step to a proces that really shouldn't be that complicated, and they'd probably be harder to use for emergency services if they need to free you if you get trapped in an accident.

But Citroens before the 1990s were genuinely innovative, if troublesome. This is just a tarted up sardine can. Manufacturers are trying to get away with charging £30k and upwards for mediocre small hatchbacks.

A little film industry trick from a camera guy Marek, since you don't have enough "FILL" light to mitigate the bright light coming through the window, make sure you arrange the car so you are shooting into a darker background i.e. the forest behind you (with less sky) or a building. Now if you want to get fancier you can carry around ND6 or ND9 gel and tape it against the window. This will cut the light down coming through the window... obviously this isn't good for travelling shots. Great video Marek, awful car. Citroen, please don't bring this to Canada. Make the old 2CV or the original DS. Now that would be retro cool.

Thanks. The problem here was me going full F1.7 on the aperture setting. Great lens the new Lumix 10-25, but too tricky for my low-budget productions.

@@MarekDrives shoot at 2.8. You can adjust your ISO or use NDs filters to get there. But the object is to bring the background exposure lower to your face levels.

@@MarekDrives haha. ok. But your ISO control is your best friend on a video camera. That and your built in ND filters. Just remember, 3200 to 1600 is 1 stop, 1600 to 800 is 1 stop down, 800 to 400, 400 to 200. Half each step. T5.6 to T4 1 stop, T4 to T2.8 1 stop, T2.8 to 1.8/1.7 1 stop down. Anyways, it all looks fine!

As a Peugeot driver, and I can afford better, this is typical of the French, always not 100% in many thousand of years. 2nd class is ok for the French, first class in their mind

Very negatively biased review. I do not own a DS, i am not an employee of them, and i am no fanboy, but it was very easy to see how this guy just wanted to slander that car on purpose. Perhaps it is an easy target to smear in order to pretend to be a harsh critic, but i bet he wouldn't dare act like this towards more popular german cars.... As for the car itself, it seems to be an awesome car for those people who would love a SMALL luxury crossover. Germans do not do small cars, except Opel and VW, with Opel being the same platform/drivetrain as the DS but with less luxury, and VW again, being less luxurious, especially in smaller offerings. If you are a city dweller or have to travel small twisty mountain roads often, yet still would like some luxury, this is a great option. But this reviewer never mentioned all those strengths, to whom the car would have been suitable. Instead he chose to just bash the door handles....

Why are the French so terrible at building practicality into their cars? They never seem to think things through properly. And they alway seem to emphasise too much on styling over usability. (We have owned 3x French cars, so I am not inexperienced on the subject)
