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 is gettin too overconfident,its got a long way 2 go,the overclaimed average & expensive spares

My Cousin got this new car since in a joint family i drive it too, i find the avg per liter is only 11kms in city and 14 on Highway.The gears are not as smooth as expected. The service n spares are expensive too. Good interiors but this car is highly overrated . Honda did not live up to its expectations.Has a new peepy look but OVERRATEDThe average is only 11kms, Honda service dealers are BAD.Service Spares also expensive

Let’s get one thing straight first, the Citroen C3 is a B-segment hatchback that has SUV elements like the boxy design and high ground clearance.
