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.

Perfect family car

looks could be better and Toyota's reliability is super cool as always. it lacks on some features but riding quality is very good its engine is super smooth . and yeah its mileage is poor take that in consideration

Toyota Platinum Etios First Drive

By Ninad Ambre03 Oct 2016

Toyota's another attempt at finding more buyers for a practical and spacious family sedan, which lacked the oomph, the exciting factor it needed to lure in buyers. The Etios was refreshed in 2013, when the exterior and interior were updated.
