Most Helpful Review

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

Era variant accessible

Era variant should not be discontinued. Era variant is right for the common man. Era variant should be restarted. Era variant is cheapest. Era variant is accessible to the public.
