Infractions: 0/1 (5) | ![]() Finally, after the typical back and forth between dealer senior SA / junior SA and getting Citroen India involved through Twitter was able to get the test drive for C3 Turbo, and it was worth messaging back and forth. Driving in Mumbai suburbs is like old-school car racing video games, STOP - GO - STOP -STOP - ACCELERATE - GO - STOP - THINK WHAT to do next. Drive an effortless 2012 Altis AT, and it's a beauty, so was in the market for a second smaller city car (the previous one was Etios Liva TRD Sportivo). The C3 Turbo, with the exception of the reverse camera on screen, electric ORVM and HUGE miss AT ![]() First-time buyers will enjoy this like my generation has enjoyed driving the Maruti Zen around city traffic and highways. Second-car buyers will feel satisfied with the look, drive quality and proportionate body and cabin space. Bored buyers who don't want to spend a bomb and are tired of MSIL and Tata are in for a surprise this has it all to be your buy. All reviewers / paid influencers have great things to say about this, which made me a little sceptical, but this does deserve the praise and attention. All the best, Citroen India sincerely hope you guys hit the correct numbers to keep going and releasing better products. Other vehicles being considered - Hyrder UC Hybrid - (waiting for a test drive.) VAG twins - beautiful, BUT the 1.5 TSI AT was a massive letdown in city driving. Personally, they felt enjoyable only at higher speeds, and the AC was a huge letdown. Last edited by navin : 28th July 2022 at 16:46.

Can you comment on the NHV, clutch hardness and turbo lag? We already have some feedback on these questions, but a request for another opinion. | |

Drive a friends KWID regularly and this is in a different league. Cannot hear the revving like in a Maruti Celerio AMT. Vibrations are non existent extremely refined. Clutch personally feels a little harder then should have been for a smooth sailing ride, but feels sturdy. Did not push the brakes, but for a TD vehicle with only 2k kms, the brakes weren't doing an exceptional job. It didn't stop the car the way I would have wanted but that could just be a TD niggle. Also in one of the online reviews the reviewer mentioned about getting used to the clutch, they were spot on. It has a bit of a learning curve to explore the full potential of the car.

The Citroen Calcutta dealership experience was far better. Spoke to a lady and a gent. Both had the requisite product knowledge but when asked a few probing questions, they tried to bluff their way out, failing miserably in their attempt ![]() However, the Calcutta dealer was very prompt in arranging a test drive. In the variant of my choice, i.e. the Turbo. And that too for a period of close to two hours. They sent the vehicle to my residence. The test drive vehicle was neat and clean, free of dings and dents and had everything working in proper order. Overall the initial experience with the Calcutta dealer was much better compared to the Chennai dealer. I have booked a Turbo with the Calcutta dealer. Now lets see how long it takes for the actual delivery. Last edited by arjab : 29th July 2022 at 15:41. | |

The tank size is irrelevant to unsprung weight because the tank is not an unsprung part. 20 litres of petrol weighs 15 kg. A full tank kerb mass difference of 15 kg in a 1000+ kg car is irrelevant to fuel efficiency or performance or anything else. The 30 litre tank is silly and over the course of the car's life will cause you to visit the pump more often. They should offer a bigger tank period. |

Infractions: 0/2 (10) | ![]() Maybe a measure to reduce cost, the KWID had a 28 litre fuel tank, too tiny I would say when others have at least 35 litre tanks or larger. |
