            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

            Too high Maintenance Cost !!

            <p>I bought a Petrol Vento 2.5 years back. I was happy to own a Vento in the beginning. Dear friends, I really understand now that I made a totally bad decision :-(.</p> <p>To tell you an incident, I had a minor accident two months back, one of the doors got damaged. Another door and a back panel had minor issues. When I went to the showroom, they told both doors and back panel need to be replaced, and gave an estimate of 80,000 Rs. Believe me, I got my car back only after 2 months, and thats too with multiple escalation emails and calls to their Mumbai office, and with a whopping bill of more than 1,12,000 Rs. Reason that they told is, they had to order all spareparts, and it took more than a month to reach the service center. One sparepart is yet to be arrived.</p> <p>More than the money, I felt shaken by the attitude of those guys !!</p> <p>So my advice, go for this brand only if you have pocket full of money for after-sales service, and you have enough backup options in case of a service repair, or spareparts change...</p>Good looks, famous brandSpare parts availability in India, too long to service, shocking spare parts and service cost
