Most Helpful Review

Sportback after 7000 kms

It is a flashy car and you will get the best looks in this price range but mileage and features will be a tradeoff for the sporty looks. Not even a 360 camera at this price. City mileage sometimes drops to pathetic levels as low as 6.5 kmpl. The drive feel is good and acceleration and stability at high speeds are impressive.

Citroen C5

The buying experience was very bad, the driving experience was ok, service and maintenance also poor. Simply a waste of money, not a great vehicle for driving, and mileage is too bad compared to this segment.
