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

Ignis Zeta AMT review

<p>I purchased Ignis Zeta AMT. I was owning Ritz VXI before. Naturally my mind was comparing every aspect of Ignis with Ritz.</p> <p>I selected Ignis for 2 reasons . 1. AMT 2. Looking for a tall boy design like Ritz. Even though it is not as tall as Ritz I decided to go for it. I wanted to buy the Delta version but purchased the Zeta version. Still not personaly convinced with the difference in price betweenDelta and Zeta for the features offered. I took delivery and started my 500 KM journey It was a head turner. Many on the high way&nbsp;wanted to find which model the car is, and&nbsp; starring. We were happy.</p> <p>It was bumpy on high way. Even at small road unevenness, I could feel the vibration inside. I was recalling the excellent suspension my Ritz had. The quality of ride could not match Ritz. After 100 kms I checked the tyre pressure&nbsp; and to my surprise it was 44 psi. I have no idea why dealer has set sucha high pressure. I reduced the pressure to 34 psi after that the smoothness has improved but still could not match to Ritz. I used to drive ritz at 100 to 110 KM/h. But I could not drive Ignis more than 80 KM/h as I was feeling the body is not as solid as Ritz. I was not feeling safe to drive more than 80 km/h.</p> <p>Steering&nbsp;is very light and easy to turn.&nbsp; Good point. But in the U turn, while turn it back, normally I leave the steering, my Ritz steering would come back to original centre position on its own, which was very comfortable. But in Ignis I had to turn the steering all the way back. Even though it is a striking difference, I hope I will get use to it soon.</p> <p>The info system shows Distance to empty, Average fuel cnsumption etc. Need to fill the tank 2 or 3 times to check the accuracy of this&nbsp;data. Gear shift was very smooth.&nbsp;Enjoyed the clutch free driving. Put the gear in manual mode. At 5 th gear applied brake the ear automatically shifted down to 2 nd gear. Gear down shifting to lower gear in manual mode is really a&nbsp;convenient feature.</p> <p>Shown to my friends. They were thinking the price could be between 4 to 5 lakhs. When I said the onroad price as 7.5 lakhs, they put a step back. Started asking me why I purchased this car, and&nbsp;said I could have gone for&nbsp;other brands/models. I do felt the price is high, but still convinced with my decision.</p> <p>The illumination control for the Instrument cluster is a convenient feature, I liked it. The interior has dual colour and the second colour is white. I am worrying how to maintain the&nbsp;white coloured parts&nbsp;without getting&nbsp;dirty. Keyless entry is a convenient feature, but I hope it wont drain the battery. Further review after completing first service.</p>New style. Head turner on Road. Light easy to turn steering, AMT quick gear shiftHigh Price , The rear seat is not for 3 for 2.5, Steering not returning back in U-turns
