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

Value for money

Buying experience is just like average It's really amazing while only two person in car but not well in 5 Look is good and performance is an average experience Service of Maruti is average but it's not cost too much high There are various pros such as power window auto AC and so on There are various items missing in Sigma model such as steering mounting controls rear AC.

Very good in all budget segment cars

Best car for medium class .Value for money car. Best driving experience. Very good look & good performance wise. Servicing experience is good & low maintenance cost. Con fit finish.
