Citroen DS3 Crowned Top Gear Magazine Car of the Year

Citroen DS3 Crowned Top Gear Magazine Car of the Year

Some say, Citroën’s DS3 is not only the best small car around, it’s the best car on the road full-stop. The UK’s TopGear magazine certainly agrees, making Citroën’s DS3 its ‘Small Car of the Year’ and also crowning the talented premium small car with the highly coveted ‘Car of the Year’ title in the publication’s 2010 awards.

DS3 saw off competition from both supercar and mainstream manufacturers including Jaguar, Bentley, Honda, Peugeot, Bugatti, Pagani and Koenigsegg to take the sought-after top spot as the magazine’s overall ‘Car of the Year’.

TopGear said: “DS3 has pulled off that heady mix of ability, excitement and affordability that’s impossible to ignore. It walks so many fine lines so delicately and so comprehensively that it’s hard to find a chink in the armour. The TopGear Car of the Year is a small, thoughtful, affordable, stylish, fun little hatchback. It’s the people’s champion.”

The 2010 Awards edition of TopGear magazine is on sale now.
