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

Excellent service from renault madurai ringroad

Excellent service from Madurai ring road showroom. Happy to purchase a Renault my Dream car. Showroom ambience really nice.
