Citroen C3 1.2 Turbo Feel Road Test

By Bilal Ahmed Firfiray04 Jan 2023

The Citroen C3 has a tough task at hand. Has it got what it takes?

2014 Ford Fiesta

By Charles Pennefather18 Jun 2014

The Fiesta is one of the globally-acclaimed cars from the Ford stable. It carries huge respect. Even in India, the car formerly known as the Fiesta is the one that picked up the mantle from the Ikon and took Ford to greater heights – but the new Fiesta was a quantum leap ahead. Unfortunately, it jumped into a price bracket where suddenly rear seat space was a requirement, not an option – and the Fiesta always was about the driver, not the backseat. Sales plummeted, and the Fiesta was largely ignored despite a first-in-class feature and a fantastic automatic gearbox that was added later in an update.
