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

A powerful beast !

The drive may not be 100 percent smooth but the engine genuinely feels totally connected. Mostly way powerful than normal sedans at it's budget. Have been using music system from the start and sound clarity is 200% clear. Beasty looks and beasty performance makes this car completely stand out. Only Pros and no Cons
