If you want a good family car and THE TRAFFIC TO RESPECT YOU buy a scorpio.

I have own a Mahindra Scorpio 2.6 SLX CRDe 2007.  I test drove Innova, Safari, Tuscon and Scorpio before deciding to buy this vehicle.  I am satisfied with the Value for money i got.

The handling of the car is surprising good. The steering is very responsive. Pickup is surprising for a first time SUV driver. The VAS with reminders about handbrake, reserve fuel, seatbelts etc is really good. Follow me home headlights, footboard lights and in cabin lighting are some features that are good. Vehicle Handling is better than Safari, Sumo and equivalent.  

I get 13.50 KMpl fuel economy in city driving. I have obtained 14.50 to 15 Kmpl on highways. This is good considering a 2.5L engine and power that you get with it. The controls are excellent and handy. AC is never a problem.  

The seats are little stiff and not true submarine. seats need improvements. The car is bumpy on uneven roads even with the new 5 link rear suspension though smoother than the old version.

A seven seater with Aisle type 2-2-3 seating will do a world of good to the scorpio. The rattling in the middle row is a problem.

What with the bull bars fitted, The traffic does not dare to come close to my car.

I have sold my Scorpio Last month. Good resale value too. No regrets owing a scorpio. I now own a Xylo.
