I have no words for this car, awesome

Ultimate car I don't have words for Maruti Suzuki. High mileage great performance and reasonable price.Good looking an economical car. Please take a test drive you will love this car.

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 in this segment

Everything is superb in this car. The comfort it offers on highways is unmatchable. It gives an aggressive look that I love about this car. Also, tata has kept in mind the minor details so that the features can be useful for the passengers. It is a very smooth car, all you need to do is just maintain the service schedule. Thanks Tata.
