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
