महिंद्रा स्कॉर्पियो यूज़र रिव्यूज़

This is my second Scorpio. I bought the first one in 2011 SLE. I loved it very much and drove for 1.5 lac kms (across India, Nepal), but after 10 years the maintenance cost was getting high and after a mid highway clutch failure, i made up my mind and sold it. Sick of high maintenance i bought Maruti XL6, although it was excellent car but i started missing the commanding high drive position. Sadly I lost XL6 in Bangalore floods and when I had to buy a new vehicle i again went for Scorpio Classic. Man what an excellent improvement, thanks Mahindra for introducing Thar engine. It's very refined and does not feel like riding a mad horse, but a tamed one :-). The mileage has improved a lot. In full tank the old Scorpio used to go for 550 kms, the new one easily covers 700+. The stark difference you feel is low engine noise (almost none if you compare with old Scorpio), the gear does not give tingling in hand :-), yes it used to vibrate so much. Although it's old model, I recently made a Bangalore-Hyderabad-Ellora-Indore and Indore-Pune-Gokarna-Bangalore and people on road kept asking me the price and how good it looks. The only things I wish could be improved are: 1. There is no water bottle holder or mobile or wallet holder in front. My 2011 Scorpio had 4 water bottle holders and damn good space to hold other things. 2. The rear leg space. After XL6 and my wife has WRV, i feel really crammed up in the back seat. I thought of getting it modified but the way seats are attached it does not seem possible. Sincere request to Mahindra to improve these 2 things.
