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

Honda Amaze is superb Duper Option.

Piyush Agrawal is very polite. Handled the deal and in 10 minutes I gave the booking Amount because of his behaviour and objection handling style, I had taken a Test Drive only post confirming the Deal closure as the request from Piyush to take a test drive once. Overall a wonderful experience.
