Title: Just Ditched my Old C4 - What's the Best Upgrade Route for a Citroen DS3?

Hey guys, just upgraded from my old C4 and I'm looking to get behind the wheel of a DS3 as my next project. Anyone have any experience with these little cars? Thinking of going for a 2011- model with a decent spec - what's the must-have upgrades to consider for a fun driving experience?

"Hey dude, I'm no expert but have you considered the C4 Cactus? I've heard it's a solid upgrade from the DS3 and has better fuel efficiency. Plus, it's still a Citroen so you'll get that same comfort vibe"

Not exactly crypto-related, but I'll give you my 2p. Considering the DS3 is a small car, I'd say go for a good engine swap to a turbocharged unit. Something like the Ford EcoBoost or a remapped 1.6 HDi should give you the performance boost you're looking for.

"Haha, upgrading from a C4 to a DS3? Nice move! What's your budget looking like? You should check out the DS3 Racing, it's a solid option with a more powerful engine."

"Dude, if you're upgrading from the C4, a DS3 is already a big step up in terms of driving dynamics. I'd say go for a Peugeot 208 or a VW Polo GTI if you want something a bit more punchy, but if you're on a budget, the DS3's own performance line is pretty hard to beat."

"Haha, ditching the C4 for a DS3 is a solid move. If you're looking for upgrades, I'd recommend checking out the Brembo brake kit for improved stopping power and some visual flair. What's your budget looking like for the upgrade?"
