Most Helpful Review

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

Manufacturing Problem in Front shocker/suspension .

Front shocker/Or suspension problem. When u cross a speed breaker it sounds a lot like anything will break in front. And u feel like a jugar gari. It's a big issue. Gear shifting is not smooth. Tyre size is also very small in sports model it's not fair. you feel a lot of sound in the cabin when you drive.

Good car for those who looking for compact SUV segments

Very good deal, even in basic version we get almost all the feature, its a very comfortable front and rear rows sitting, build quality is also good since a ncap 4 rated car, coming to performance found little slow.
