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

Why Baleno is best?

Nice car compare to Altroz. If you take Mileage , service, resail value Baleno is best. It is specious than maruti swift. Service and buying experience is good. Tata showrooms are not customer friendly.

Best hatchback car Tata Altroz

This car is best hatchback of tata motors I love this car from his features, interior look, exterior look. This car is so cool car and it is obtained 5 star rating in global ncap and I love safe car.

Citroen C3 1.2 Turbo Feel Road Test

By Bilal Ahmed Firfiray04 Jan 2023

The Citroen C3 has a tough task at hand. Has it got what it takes?

Maruti Suzuki Baleno Road Test

By Ameya Dandekar31 Dec 2015

If a car is priced under Rs 10 lakh and wears a Maruti Suzuki badge it is destined to be successful. But the Baleno is very important to Maruti for very different reasons. It is their first foray into the premium hatchback segment which is dominated by Hyundai’s classy i20. The Baleno is also the second model to be sold out of the more premium Nexa group of dealerships. After Nexa took a big hit with the unenthusiastic response for the overpriced S-Cross, the pressure is on Baleno’s small car shoulders to justify Maruti’s premium marketing tactics.
