Most Helpful Review

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

Best sedan in the segment

I've been using the car for 5 years now, I have experienced the best-of-class comfort in this segment and the best thing is has the lowest service cost and comes with the trust of Maruti so highly recommended if you are looking for a sedan in this segment.

Honda is gettin too overconfident,its got a long way 2 go,the overclaimed average & expensive spares

My Cousin got this new car since in a joint family i drive it too, i find the avg per liter is only 11kms in city and 14 on Highway.The gears are not as smooth as expected. The service n spares are expensive too. Good interiors but this car is highly overrated . Honda did not live up to its expectations.Has a new peepy look but OVERRATEDThe average is only 11kms, Honda service dealers are BAD.Service Spares also expensive

Good car for those who looking for compact SUV segments

Very good deal, even in basic version we get almost all the feature, its a very comfortable front and rear rows sitting, build quality is also good since a ncap 4 rated car, coming to performance found little slow.
