This car has very good maintenance

This car has very good maintenance, good comfort also good service I have also purchased it as a very good car for a small family looks very nice. This car is perfect for me this car has great value for the money.

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

Perfect car for an Indian family

Writing this review after driving for 30,000 + km, out of which drove more than 17,000 km on highways, and being able to drive consistently at speeds of 110-120kmph on highways. Never had any problem with the mechanism of the vehicle. From a seating perspective: can easily fit in 2 adults in the last row, if it's children then 3 comfortably. Renault's cost of servicing is a little on the higher side, Overall the experience has been great.
