Mrs. EV is unleashed. DS 3 Crossback E-tense review: part 2

We’ve had the DS 3 Crossback E-tense for one month. In the previous video I gave it a thorough review with measurements, features etc. In this one, my wife and I go at it thoroughly in the car. And not in a good way.
There’s some repetition from the first video in terms of issues we both have but I’ve left it all in because so many of you would rather watch this one anyway.
Get ready for extensive gesticulation - and not just from Flaviana this time.

"Why are you telling me, tell them. I don't care"... I actually belly laughed out loud. That was priceless. Flaviana is a rock star. And you don't need any makeup... you are gorgeous.

[@avtomad722]

I know! They're the best duo, you don't have to watch just because you are into cars; it's pure entertainment!

[@Lewis_Standing]

I don't know Andrew would look great with some eye liner

[@thorbjrnhellehaven5766]

I just love the way your wife is so streight forward about her opinions.

[@craigandrew]

your wife has a brillant accent and very honest,

[@pedropenduco9281]

Your wife is brilliant, she has me in stitches! My wife is a huge fan too. More Flaviana please.

[@eto2352]

DS 3 review: "A stupid name for a stupid car." the end. LOL brilliant!

[@savedfaves]

😂

[@V8burble]

Again I’m in stitches with you two…. Thank you for putting a smile on my face. Great honest review too of course 😉

[@tomquimby8669]

This is wonderful, a true delight! Thank you Mrs EV!

[@ashleylee4446]

I told you I wanted a nice car with a nice colour and you got me THIS! Gotta love Flaviana.

[@moejon]

Love your wife!!! Honest to a fault. Her accent (Italian) is a joy. Always include her in your videos.

[@neddyl1225]

"We are off to the vet today" - to have the E-tense "put down" perhaps!

[@ewheelerfinland]

🤣 Andrew; your wife is absolute gold! Hahaha! Much more interesting to hear her opinions on an EV than any other person on KZbin!

[@andyrads1096]

Always good to see Mrs Till. Just wish she would just tell it as she sees it and stopped flowering it up 😂

[@dcvariousvids8082]

Priceless! As are the review couple.

[@davidartina5022]

Brilliant review. Not just the honest content but the way you present it. And real value to DS. Everything you say makes sense, they should thank you and use it to help them do much better next time.

[@camrodger5381]

When it comes to a well designed interface, it’s difficult to beat Tesla. Flaviana is truly the star of the channel. Thank you for another great, entertaining video.

[@Ratbat69]

the title made me skip right to pt 2, popcorn out ready for the carnage!!, you go Mrs EV

[@blobstrom]

So after watching both parts I can see you're on the fence with this one 🤣🤣 You two are the best double act going.. 13:45 "Then put a lot of ads" Listen to your wife, she's a good business woman

[@MrEV]

Thanks Rob! I may use her as my business manager. God knows I need one!

[@rikimarizard]

Would've been funny if there was an ad right after that haha

[@maesc2001]

I like it when You obviously enjoy Flaviana’s ranting 😊 DS stands for déesse or goddess in French, from the Citroen DS from the past, which btw was a great car.

[@o751106]

Mrs EV👍🏾 beautiful person and accent. Mr EV you’re ok, peaceful kinda guy, easy to listen to.

[@ronb4633]

Brutally Honest. Thanks Andrew and Mrs EV.

[@moggebobo5512]

Your wife is just the most funny person🤣 Italians is European as its best 😂

[@stevenswann2835]

As someone who hates the recent proliferation of touchscreens and layers of menus, I find this cathartic. So enjoyable to watch you tear strips of cr@p design such as this (and the VW ID rubbish). More of this, please.

[@nicknorton3867]

Hooray, the best real-world EV review duo are back! Great to see Flaviana has decided not to end her on-screen career prematurely too! Go easy on the chocolate though - we need you both fighting fit and able to take down these godawful 'efforts' from the likes of DS for a good few years yet...

[@paulallsop5593]

Love the interaction between the two of you. You just became my favourite utuber. Keep up the good reviews!

[@lukebonham8216]

Just watched this video - the two of you are absolutely bloody hilarious! Keep the banter going please 😂

[@effin1233]

Great review again from both of you can't wait for the next one 😀

[@koek1122]

I love how you smile when your wife goes into a rant. That's the love we should all strive for! Very fun video as always. I dont even watch to get an impression for the car anymore. I just watch to see if Flaviana will absolutely destroy a car or not.

[@Petelmrg]

'I don't want to upset anyone who owns one' - I think that ship had sailed, Andrew... we're trying an Skoda Enyaq which is on a bespoke ev chassis on Monday which looks much more viable option for roughly the same price range..

[@johndeehan8078]

Great banter and nice reviews. You guys work well together.

[@patrickwalsh467]

The Madonna can shop for my snacks anytime!

[@richh650]

You guys are truly habit forming. Please keep the videos coming.

[@qrlee6762]

I just think her honesty is so refreshing. Couple with Good chemistry :) I might want to test drive Niro.

[@luckymeat3050]

Poor Isabelle! She has been shamed by Mrs EV! ;-) Great review, both - one to avoid I think!

[@andyyoung814]

What a star Flaviana is! So straightforward with opinions. Keep,it up

[@michaelholt1]

Great review as always Mr & Mrs EV. Have to agree with you both totally. 31k! Goodness me.

[@tooflesstesla]

The DS 3 Crossback E-tense makes your wife tense, especially the lane keep assist! This is a proper down-to-earth review. Thank you.

[@samuelbarford2249]

I literally laughed my way through that review 😂 So good 👍 It is always the small things that annoy you - like 3 buttons for the radio - and you managed to find plenty of things in a small amount if time which shows it is lacking the wow factor

[@R_Time_Now]

Great, insightful and funny review

[@avtomad722]

Another smashing real-world review! I trust your opinion. D33 Crossback is not for me (but I too had the same opinion from the first picture). Good point you made about the PSA EV's not showing the percentage when not charging, and the counterintuitive touchscreen, frustrating as hell! I have driven the e208 and loved how it looked, but on longer journeys I can see it would all get so tiresome.

[@tomdrew7188]

I'd hate to come across Mrs. EV in business, she is as terrifying as she is funny, but the two of you make a brilliant channel.

[@SeriouslyJaded]

Family EV is one of the most enjoyable channels on youtube. Always makes me smile. You really should do more videos together.

[@BillCameronWC]

Totally uninhibited - marvellous 🤩 👍😉

[@ianwaring2531]

More Flaviana please. Refreshing to-the-point honesty.

[@SharedThinking]

The DS3 e-tense: Good cup holder and useful background for chocolate reviews.

[@davidpearn5925]

More of Mrs EV please Andrew ………..for my wife also.

[@tomymoustaky1907]

Haha what does DS stand for ? That came from the heart 🤣I couldnt stop laughing.

[@bertlevis]

Excellent review with your wife reminds me of a very good younger version ofAnna Magnani, I mean that as a sincere complement. Excellent and thank you both

[@andrewkorsak490]

Mrs EV- class act, she makes me laugh.

[@lauriemiles1842]

I want to give this more than 1 like!

[@jeff4493]

Brilliant!

[@johnwilson1815]

You guys are so funny!!

[@georgeloizou1090]

Well Mr. Till, I have joined the masses who will go out of his way to watch your channel only because of Mrs. EV….

[@coolaa]

An honest review that's great 👍

[@mra682]

Nice to get a cheese twist in the vid. Thumbs up

[@savedfaves]

"A stupid name for a stupid car". I'm laughing out loud already. I'd rather you than me ;-)

[@FabrizioMezzatesta]

DS can be an abbreviation of Different Spirit or Distinctive Series (although it also refers to the Citroën DS designed by Flaminio Bertoni and André Lefèbvre). The name is also a play on words, as in French it is pronounced like the word déesse, meaning "goddess". (from Wikipedia)

[@knowledgebyte]

One thing I love about the e-golf and the digital dashboard (option) is the modes you can configure the drivers view of all the data. I can see exactly how much range I have, how far I can go, what my KwH/mile is and a VU like meter, we’re it shows you how much you are draining, or recouperating. In fact it’s one of the reasons I chose the car above all the other cars I tested. I’m now regularly doing upwards of 165 miles in the summer months, four years in and the car is a sprightly as it was when I bought it new. It’s the first car that I cannot find a fault with. Does what it says on the tin. 165 miles on 34KwH battery. That’s up there with the best that’s out there now. That’s about 5.1-5.8 miles per KwH.

[@LEgoiste]

Fantastic, it mirrors my Wife and I too, the thing is she's right...everytime!

[@savedfaves]

21:50 people watch you for your honesty. Don't worry about upsetting people. It's part of life. Be honest, it's all you have.

[@1701_FyldeFlyer]

Mrs EV should do more reviews!

[@cbromley562]

Yes, that didn’t disappoint.

[@CrIMeFiBeR]

i normally only watch her rants, short, clear and honest.

[@rogerford30]

Poor dog has to go to the vets for us to see mrs EV, how does she stay so slim on a diet of chocolate heaven.👍

[@IDann1]

I don’t think you’re going to get any sponsors from Citroen 🤨…This is my favourite channel this week

[@hockeymann88]

I came originally for the Ionic and I stayed for Flaviana. Good Lord she is fun to watch.

[@nelsonoliveira1007]

Flaviana needs her own personal plate " Ball Buster". Very funny, beautiful with that accent. Keep her on daily and your channel will blow up. The Ioniq 5 review was hilarious. 2022 car and still a long list of dislikes.

[@DebbieDaydream]

I ordered one of there last Wednesday and watching your review I canceled the order yesterday as I’m disabled and all the blind spots not being able to see would really scare me, I’m now off to order the Fiat 500e instead, much better car for my needs, thank you both for this amazing frank review 👍

[@MrEV]

I’m glad we helped! The Fiat 500e is a great car. Obviously much smaller than the DS, but I prefer it in every other way.

[@radekwronski1650]

Car production cycle: 1. Idea 2. R&D 3. Pre-production 4. Internal testing 5. Improvements 6. User acceptance testing 7. Flaviana acceptance testing - OMG let's better start from No. 1 again!

[@savedfaves]

To be fair the lane-keep-assist trying to steer her into oncoming traffic. And then pressing it "off" makes it show up on the screen. These designers must be smoking something.

[@davidwebster5235]

Ok you win the internet! Brilliant!

[@neilbrandon]

Who needs ICE age testosterone gear or grand testosterone when you have Grand Till. As usual great insight, nothing held back. Linda Jackson and team should be calling Mr and Mrs Till to advise on all new car designs...

[@MrEV]

Thanks Neil! "Grand Till" - brilliant!

[@killgroup]

DS stands for Different Spirit (I just googled, I'm not a fanboy!). I actually have some respect for DS (Citroen) for designing cars that are different, it's too easy to get pulled into the VW Golf-like box on wheels, but their cars generally feel budget as you've experienced, despite DS being their "luxury" brand. Also, I don't think I've heard you swear so much in one video, you really were letting loose this video! 😂

[@eurohulk6515]

This is the best car review ever! 😂

[@stephendye2924]

I couldn't finish watching: had to go and eat chocolate !!

[@basincut100]

Absolutely love you two. I have a 2021 MG ZS EV which, despite its few foibles, I like very much and I don’t know if you have reviewed it but I shudder to think what mrs ev would make of it.

[@MrEV]

I'm looking forward to giving that a go one of these days!

[@JohnRoss1]

There are lovely Chocolate shops in Stratford Ontario . The Stratford Festival is still on hold due to COVID but there is always chocolate!

[@martinpickard100]

Are we going to have profiteroll test now instead of the water bottle test for storage... great review of a poor car.

[@bibliotek42]

Brilliant! :-D

[@OzziesRambles6170]

Thanks for your very entertaining and informative videos Mr and Mrs EV. I am new to BEV's and have a new 40kw Nissan Leaf mk2. I would love to hear your frank opinions of this car which would also assist potential second hand buyer's.

[@MrEV]

We have an old 24kWh LEAF and absolutely love it. We’ve not driven the 40kWh one but I’m sure it’s just as good (better of course, with the bigger range). The LEAF is such a good car: great size, practical, smooth, reliable. I think you’ll have many happy years with it. The only real issue with it is that it uses CHAdeMO and not CCS. Not a massive problem at the moment since there are still loads of CHAdeMO chargers but they are a dying breed. A shame, really, as CHAdeMO is arguably the better connector. Other than that, we’d certainly consider a new LEAF again.

[@davestraight8219]

Say something nice - doesn't matter what the video is - more Mr and Mrs till

[@patrickh7368]

Brilliant…! 😊 Flaviana for prime minister…..!

[@ro4056]

By the look at the thumbs down.. 3 ppl bought this car.. 😂

[@IDann1]

So what’s the new Kia going to be like?, you say you don’t wanna annoy anybody that’s already has the DS, …I’m thinking that boat has sailed early on in the video,and in the middle of the video …and the end of the video. 😂Absolutely hilarious.

[@EV-olution]

Andrew, you should ask you wife to tell us what she really thinks about the car 😉😂🤣

[@locknut5382]

I prefer to call it the much less offensive Diddly Squat Pretense.

[@Telcontarnz]

I was excited when I heard about the DS brand. So badly implemented! Like the Mini and Fiat 500 a retro to the original would be so fantastic. ‘A stupid name for a stupid car’. Brilliant start to a review.

[@st4849]

You guys need an e-Niro real bad 😂

[@unconventionalideas5683]

Oof. The lane keep assist is supposed to prevent accidents, not cause them.

[@leesmith9299]

that lane assist icon on the screen should at least have a strike through it to show it's off.

[@nordicresilience7449]

LOL Mrs EV "PSA? doesn't that stand for a weird disease?" Mr EV #It should be.."

[@JonathanPorterfield]

More of Flaviana , she cracks me up , love her honestly, what would she say to me about the used Leaf i supplied ? " now then d porterfieeeld , what a all dis abouut ..... "

[@MrEV]

She adores the Leaf! She'd give you some of her finest chocolate. 😀

[@palusisko]

Nice review of DS3 E! My question is: how the line assistent works in another EVs? What about Tesla3, eMach, ID3 or Leaf? It looks that all narrow roads could be dangerous for all cars with L.A. or not?

[@MrEV]

It's certainly something we pay attention to when testing cars now. Our new Fiat 500e is tugs very strongly away from the side unless it's turned off. I don't remember the Model 3 doing it when I tried that. The cars should be clever enough to turn it off when there's no middle line.

[@moejon]

I do look forward to your videos your wife she's the best

[@roderickmain9697]

Well done , Flaviana. As I expected ;-). However, I am starting to suspect she has Scottish blood in her somewhere after that trip to Waitrose. Vegtables ...nah.

[@scara1701]

I turned of the lane center assistance on my car (vehicle option). It drove me crazy. Now it only reacts when I close into or cross the line (toyota). Maybe this is also an option in the Citroën? Orange indicator is a warning, so it makes sense to be 'on' as a warning. The swooping bits are indeed hideous :D

[@stevenc365]

Ha, great video. I’m certainly getting a bit bored of EVs reviews that are only ever positive. I think you both have significantly rebalanced the world.

[@ElmosWelt101]

Thank you for another great vid. The Kia e-Niro and e-Soul are simply very good cars other newer cars still cannot compete with.

[@Furio1965]

Lane keep assist? For a moment I was thinking she was describing MCAS on the Boeing 737 MAX..

[@nickieredshaw7835]

Lol 😂 very good video thanks

[@dcvariousvids8082]

Hope Baby is good, just a yearly once over one hopes. PSA some weird disease, became Stellantis. So from weird disease to embarrassing symptom, in one corporate rebrand. More chocolate. Perhaps you should include, “How much chocolate can we fit in the..?” segment. More chocolate segments please. I’m sure you could have found something good in the DS3. Chocolate for instance. Plus it’s a well known fact, that a chocolate diet is better than any makeup.

[@Tom55data]

The E-tense : as "recommended" by Mrs. EV. Citron - just put this on your marketing site, no need to check the content, great advert for your up-market car. It will go down like a bomb....

[@ro4056]

13:28... She actually smiled 😍 ....so pretty
