    PURCHASE:
    Not Purchased

    DRIVING:
    Few hundred kilometers
    1. Driving Experience: The turbo engine is powerful which makes for a peppy ride. However, compared to the XUV 3XO, I found that I had to floor the pedals harder. The power and torque on the naturally aspirated engine could be much better. The suspension can handle small bumps but there was some amount of body rolling at high speeds. The driver’s seat could be more comfortable which is where I felt a considerable difference from the 3XO. At high speeds, the car felt a little out of control as the steering does not feel as heavy as it should. 2. Looks: I do not find the C3 visually appealing. The front could have a wider grill which would give the illusion of a more expensive car. The car logo which blends with the grill does not look good to me. The front could be revised to match the front design with the oval logo on the global c3 air cross variant. Meanwhile, the back could do with a more sporty hatchback look like rivals Kiger and Fronx. One of the core reasons I did not proceed to purchase the car was the bland road presence and lack of safety features. The interiors on the contrary are nicely done, with an arm console, large infotainment unit and a sporty AC vent design. 3. Features: For its price, the car has all the features one needs for day-to-day city driving. Future revisions should focus on adding more safety features which is where the car lacks completely with a 0 on the Latin Am NCAP. Ventilated seats and wireless charging could be a plus, differentiating it from other rivals.
