Nice pricing

Looks are decent in competition to curvv pricing is better And Citroen is one of the best brand famous for its comfort let's hope for the best in how it performs in this Indian market.

Citroen C3 Live 1.2 Petrol

Looks are stunning at this price range. Suspension is awesome. The second servicing was done recently. The base variant does not have a central locking feature. I got it installed in the aftermarket. Engine performance is also good. Mileage is around 19 With AC and Four passengers

A new ambassador

I have driven approx. 1 lakh 10 thousand km , including so many long drive like 450 km in a day, my mother have knee replacement but she recommend Ciaz for comfort and you should know in this price no one can beat ciaz in look , comfort, image in society.
