Class in your budget. MG Hector MT turbo 1.5l review

The vehicle is sturdy and the in city refinement is just unbelievable. Space and seats are very comfortable. The back seats become total flat and makes it boot space double for easy movement of luggage also. I am getting mileage of 10.9 to 12 within city in bumper to bumper traffic. Don't expect xuv700 kind of driving experience in high way but with 250nm torque it does pack quit a punch. Loving it.

Citroen C5

The buying experience was very bad, the driving experience was ok, service and maintenance also poor. Simply a waste of money, not a great vehicle for driving, and mileage is too bad compared to this segment.
