Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which one is the best, Citroen C3 or Toyota Glanza?
  • Both cars are good in their own forte, Citroen C3 packs in the presence and space of a mini SUV at the price of a hatchback that's comfortable over a variety of road conditions. But it also lacks some essentials like powered adjustable mirrors or windshield wipers and other creature comforts that its rivals have gotten us accustomed to. On the other hand, if you are looking for a hatch that ticks a lot of boxes, the Glanza is a great option. There's a decent features list, efficient engine options, and more space than a number of more expensive sedans. So, if your priorities are spacious cabin, fuel efficiency and decent features, and power performance, you may go for Glanza. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
