Superb Car

Awesome purchase, I would love to go on a long drive. This car is my first car and mainly I drive on highways performance is next level and almost zero noise or sound inside the 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
