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.

Really HOT

I think its the first hot hatchback in india. I don't know much. But its the best. Interior is little bad but better quality. Awesome exhaust sound that car making. Really amazing.
