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

Attractive Value for Money Sedan Car

A value for money sedan car, LS model at approx. 6L on road what else we want. Recently modified and added with features. Printed antennae, rear seat arm rest with cup holder etc etc. The drive is smooth, maintenace arrurance by co, warrantly 3 years/1,00,000 km Shape of the car is best in its class Other sedan are almost 1 L min. more than AVEO Would certainly recommend this car, diesel cars are costing more by 70 to 90,000Good shape, Smooth drive, Good ground clearance, Added features,Value for moneyNone
