Citroen EC3 Value for money

Citroen needs to work on its application and also needs to have its own charging infrastructure like TATA to compete in this segment. Work on features, and introduce new features.

This Cruze is best car

Very nice and good experience with this car and you also bought this .it has a display and very good speaker bass . I planning to buy this . It is very easily to operate and this very nice.
