A Marvelous Car

A Marvelous Car

Its been 4 months since i bought the car, and i enjoyed each ride, i have made so far. Driving dynamics:- The tall seating position, give you a commanding posture to easily manage the tight city traffic. With the cars high torque to weight ratio(163 Nm/t) and long gear range(3rd /4th gear), it was super fun to drive this car in highway. You will love this engine, after you start using it. The cars steering is well tuned, you will feel in complete control and ease to use. Gears and clutch are okay for me(my previous diesel car has even hard gear shifting and tight clutch pedal), but comparing it with other cars, this may not be the best, but it is usable. Comfort:- With their trademark suspension, you will hardly notice small road undulations and even bigger potholes if faced just with one side wheels, you will not feel anything. the seats were comfortable and we didn't felt any tiredness for maximum 6 hour drives i made so far. The car has a very good cooling system, even on this hot summer, it cools extremely well for its large cabin size. Another very good thing about this car is its, good insulation, even in high speeds, this car is decently quite and you can enjoy the music well. Features:- Everything is manual(ac control, wiper, headlight, key to start) and i don't see a problem in doing it that the old way. :) It has a very good infotainment system, with wireless android/apple car play option(which you will not find in many other cars variants of same price range). I have upgraded the speakers with Steg speakers and it is amazing. Citroen has a good app, which gives you all detail, ride summary live on your phone. SpaceFlexibility:- For occasional visit of my parents, i needed a big car, but i don't want to own an ugly MPV, C3 air cross, perfectly fitted this requirement. My kids use the last row seats and they never complained even in long trips, you can fold the seats are remove it completely, and put a bed to let the kids sleep also in long trip. :). Value for money Contrary to opinions, this car provides lot of value to the less money you pay. For this onroad price, you get a solid big car(above 4m,with 7 seat option), big/wide tyre, good infotainment system, superb mechanical engine, superb cooling system, with good basic safety features. What you maynot find is sunroof, automatic ac,wiper,headlight, many other electronics/sensory items, which you maynot use everyday and in longer run, would be difficult to maintain, will increase the ownership cost. Mileage:- 9km/l avg in heavy stop/go 1st gear rides(this car has auto start/stop function, which works well), 11km/l avg in light city traffic, 14km/l avg in highway rides with ac/120km/h speed and 16km/l avg in highway without ac.
