My First New Car- Value for Money

I went to the showroom 1st time to see the new launch of Basalt but booked the C3 Aricross MAX manual variant DT with my Swift Dezire 2010 exchange. I booked on the same day as there were a few fewer stocks available for the 2023 variant as it's a new 2024 with an updated feature model about to launch. As I got a GREAT discount with my exchange old car I choose to go with the TOP manual 5 Seater option. That was a value for money for me in terms of features coming in a new model less required for me. I made a few videos on my YouTube channel - Tech Explorer Vipin to share my first New Car journey with details. I hope that will inspire others to choose this car that is less popular but very good in terms of driving comfort and built quality. Mileage is also a positive point for this car with a turbocharged engine. In 3 days I have driven 200+ Km in the city and got 12-13 Milage with AC which is fine for me as a new car. I know after 1st service it will get improve. Most importantly in the crowd on-road presence, it gives me very nice feelings when everyone looks at my car with curiosity. Its look and road presence is very impressive. I feel due to poor marketing and weak strategy in India the company still struggling to show its presence. I think their new launch "Basalt" would be a good competition to Tata Curvv I have chosen this Car after so much research and rejected KIA Carens at last to go for this.. The only Cons I found are its less presence on the road and a lack of confidence among the people due to fewer service centers and showrooms but they are working on it very aggressively. Since their first launch C5 Aricross which was a premium segment car didn't attract Indians and later they launched the C3 Hatchback with an incorrect segment which could be a Micro SUV like Nexon or Punch segment. Now they are on the right way and launched C# Aricross a tough segment SUV with a competitive price and Basalt a Coupe SUV the first in the segment in India with a very aggressive price. Let's see how that strategy will help Citroen boost trust in the very tough competitive automobile industry in India.
