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

Gear Box Failure

Good Exterior. Good Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I have a Toyota Etios 2017 model which has done 12000 KMS, All service and minor repairs done at GLobe services only. Worst  Gearbox, Ran down after 12k Km, toyota is having car from 16/07/2017 and they are just forwading dates and issue not resolved yet. Bought car from Globe Toyota, Mohali. Whenever we are going there they are just forwarding thye dates and nothing is being resolved. Only 3 months have passed till car has been bought such bad experience from Toyota will not recomend it to anyone. This car is being used for corporate use and these faults are leading to losses for person is earning on its behalf. Recommend not to buy etios fro Toyota as it is worst vehicle to buy and to spend money on it. Bad Ride Quality & Handling Service is worst. Service associates do not have manners to talk and they are treating as if car has been bought free from them.Inside spaceBad Service , Gear box broken

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?

Toyota Etios facelift

By Sagar Bhanushali28 Dec 2014

Just as Mercedes-Benz is considered synonymous with luxury and BMW with sportiness, Toyota has established itself as a byword for quality and reliability. For years the Japanese automaker has churned out a range of well put together cars. Get behind the wheel of one and straightaway you’d be under an impression that it’s a thing that will probably last forever.
