            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

            The Car is fantastic, recommended for people looking out for Executive class car

            <P>I bought the new Optra Magnum Petrol and been driving it for past 2 months, The car is purely executive class car, with lot of comfirt for the passenger as well as the driver.</P> <P><BR>The Car is Value for money, it's really spacious and has got good leg room too. The Engine is very smooth. The interiors are very decent (No jazzy looks)</P> <P><BR>I had option of Honda City New model(fully loaded) as both cars were costing 9.43 Lakhs, The City is 1500 CC compared to 1600CC Optra. Additionally General Motors offers huge cash discount (Approx 65K), where Honda clearly told me that they cannot offer me anything as they are launching new car.</P> <P>This statement clearly states Honda has raised the price just because of it's Brand Name.</P> <P>Do not expect a good fuel economy when buying such a big sedan, but still I could get 17Kmpl on Mumbai - Pune Express highway.</P> <P>Some Facts :</P> <P>For those who think buying US based auto manufacturer's car is not a good option.</P> <P>Chevrolet Optra is basically designed in Korea and it was renamed by GM from it's original name Daewoo Lacetti with few modifications.</P>Good Style, Good Interiors, Good in Space and comfirtLow level Seating(Seat Height Adj. available), Low Stearing response
