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

Maruti Suzuki swift dzire

It's best price range car with the good features and also good milage. I like to share my opinion to buy this car as you own bcz it's awesome car. Also we can as trusted the maruti Suzuki company since the years ago so the car is nice . As space and comfortable it's give 10/10 and I like the petrol version.

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.
