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

Safe and secured

To good driving and running cost is better than any other company car and also safety is so important thing to buy this car for me I love this car no compromise for safety me and my family.
