The DS AUTOMOBILES DS3 (2015-16) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.6 THP SS 165 EU6 DSPORT 6SPD is a sporty, three-door small hatchback, sitting in the more premium corner of the UK supermini market. Its compact size suits town driving and parking, while the powerful petrol engine and six-speed manual give it a livelier character than ordinary runabout versions. Mycarcheck.com records 93 look-ups covering 40 different VINs, offering a useful snapshot of cars shoppers have checked. Those records show an average private-sale valuation of £4,800, around 42,000 miles, 5,000 miles driven yearly and just under two previous keepers. That makes the DS3 a tempting choice for commuters or couples wanting an easy-to-live-with car that still feels distinctive and fun on faster roads. The DSport trim and bold styling help it stand out against rivals such as the MINI Hatch and Ford Fiesta, though its three doors make rear-seat access less convenient for families.
