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

FORD : Found Dead On Roads.. yeah someone called it CRAP..right on

I bought the new Ikon last year, among the first cars at Mumbai. Looking at me, a friend of mine also bought one. Never thought it would be so bad.. AC valve has been changed for both cars, twice for one car. Now also hot air suddenly blows in specially in traffic. Its big joke in our group. Both cars have jerky brakes or brakes grab suddenly on application & u get that noise from wheels. Both cars steering is over responsive, one has to be careful. Ford had reduced steering dia. from earlier size, without any other modifications in the steering system. The Mumbai dealer Shaman has closed shop & the nearest dealer is 20kms away from office & 40kms from home :-( As per the dealer they were fedup with the failures & attitude of Ford India. You cannot find any contact number of any Ford Sales or Sevice persons. Emails are not answered back. SO all in all a terrible experience to own a Ford ..NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY OR SUGGEST ANYONE TO BUY A FORD VEHICLE.NIL, cheap sedanrepeated AC problems, funny noises, bad steering, bad brakes, cheap fittings

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?

Change of heart

By CarWale Team31 Dec 2008

Once upon a time, diesels were sluggish, noisy and needed deep pockets to maintain. The Ikon did have a 1.8-litre naturally aspirated diesel under its hood at one point (a carry over from the Escort),
