Ngawo lowo nyaka wezi-2013 uhlobo lwaseFrance lwethule uhlobo olusha lwe-DS3, iCabrio body. Akuyona into eguqulekayo ukusetshenziswa, kusukela izinsika zemoto zihlale lapho zikhona. Isebenzisa umqondo ofanayo nowe-2CV ngesikhathi sayo noma i-Fiat 500C yamanje, ishiya umbono oseceleni we-DS3 ufana nse nowenguqulo evaliwe. Ngenhlanhla ayihlangene ne-C3 Pluriel, iphuzu labo okuwukuphela kwalo abafana ngalo ukuthi bobabili bangamaCitroën.
Yebo akufiki ngesikhathi esingcono kakhulu. I-DS3 isivele iyimoto kanokusho, ikakhulukazi uma uyiqhathanisa ne-C3 esebenzayo, ngakho-ke kulokhu i-DS3 Cabrio iyisinyathelo esisodwa phezulu, futhi ngentengo. Ukuthi yebo, ezinsukwini lapho sihlangene nale moto, ifakwe i- 92hp injini diesel kanye noshintsho oluhloliwe (okuwukuphela kwenketho enalokhu kuphethiloli) kusibonise ukuthi inezimpikiswano eziningi ezivuna yona nokuthi iwumkhiqizo omuhle, onomphumela obalulekile ohlobene nomlomo wokulayisha we-trunk.
Njengoba ngike ngasho ngaphambili, ngobuhle icishe ilandelelwe ku-DS3 evaliwe. Ngaphambili iyafana, inegrille ebabazekayo emise okomlomo kanye namalambu eLED daytime running afana namagill ezinhlangothini zobhampa. Ekubukeni okuseceleni, insika ye-B esikiwe iyaqhubeka nokugqama, inikeze ukubukeka okunamandla kakhulu futhi okuqiniswa ngemininingwane ye-chrome engxenyeni engezansi yomzimba. Ingemuva le-DS3 Cabrio iyona ethola izinguquko eziningi, njengoba nakuba igcina i-bumper efanayo, isebenzisa isango elihlukile, elilungiselelwe i-hood, kanye ne-hood ngokwayo.

I-hood isetshenziswa ngogesi futhi ingavulwa ngenkathi ushayela phezulu Amakhilomitha angama-120 ngehora. Ingaqoqwa ngokuphelele engxenyeni lapho i-trunk iphela khona, kodwa ikhansela ukubonakala ngesibuko esingemuva. Uma singalehlisi ifasitela elingemuva sizogcina ukubonakala nezinwele emoyeni. Igqame ngokuba yiyo yodwa eshintshwayo esigabeni sayo enezihlalo ezinhlanu, ezintathu ezisemuva ezabantu abadala abathathu kanye nebhuthi engu-245 litre.
Kanye ngaphakathi akukho ukulahlekelwa indawo yokuhlala futhi ikhululekile ohambweni olude, ibhuthi ye-Citroën DS3 iyindawo ebuthaka, njengoba naphezu kokugcina umthamo ofanayo nowezicabha ezintathu, ine umgodi omncane kakhulu. Inkinga akukhona ukuthi izinto azilingani, ukuthi azilingani. Ipotimende lekhabethe lingena kahle, kuyilapho elikhudlwana kufanele lihambe esihlalweni esingemuva noma kuzodingeka uzame ukulifaka esiqwini ngokugoqa isihlalo esingemuva, esishiya igebe elingelona elikhulu kakhulu, kodwa elikhulu eduze lelo elinikelwa yisango langemuva, eliphakamisayo.
ingaphakathi elingashintshiwe
Ngaphakathi kwe-DS3 Cabrio ngeke sithole izinguquko ezibalulekile, ngale kosilingi nokukhanya kosilingi okuhlanganisa iswishi ukuyivula nokuyivala.

Ingxenye engenhla inamapheshana, njengaleyo esezicabheni. Ingxenye engezansi yedeshibhodi iyipulasitiki eqinile, nakuba inokulungiswa okuhle. I-centre console inokubukeka kwesimanje futhi inombala omnyama wepiyano, nakuba ikhipha ukungcola nokuklwebheka kalula uma ingahlanzwanga kahle. Kuyaziswa ingxenye enkulu yeminyango yeminyango, kumnandi ukusekela ingalo, kanye nendawo yokuphumula emaphakathi egoqekayo enombambi wento.
Umshayeli unesondo lokushayela phambi kwakhe, nge izilawuli ze-satellite multifunction ngemuva kwe-paddles kanye nokugudluza. Ideshibhodi iphelele, inenkomba yezinga lokushisa elipholile, izinga likaphethiloli, ikhawunta ye-rev kanye ne-speedometer.
