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

Ride the Tiger- the Tigor

My showroom experience was superb. The dealer even helped me get my BH number plate within 2 days. About the car, the experience is indescribable. On highways the fuel economy even reached 27 km/l. The build quality of TATA is incomparable. On road, Tigor gives superb driving confidence. Overall super happy with Tata and Tigor.
