Best Decision by Me

I had to think a lot before buying this car as it is not so cheap but it was worth every single rupee after I bought this car every day I went for a round just to show off my car its super duper comfortable its speed its also very good but I think the mileage can do a little bit better but anyways it's very good for its price and I just can’t explain it anymore in words.

Mileage is fantastic and horsepower is awesome

Good very good I bought it 9 years ago and it is working now just like a pro it didn't disappoint me Mileage is fantastic and horsepower is awesome East and West Defender is the best But 1 problem is that is expensive but according to its price it is just fantastic No words for it The waiting period is very much but when you get it you will forget all the other cars and you will again and again just wow! Thank you Have a nice day
