Stringent Testing would have made this better vehicle

Exterior: good and decent

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): good

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: engine doesnt give the thump, fuel economy is good for this sized vehicle, heavy sound under the gearbox(like hitting a metal when the vehicle goes on bumps or speedbreakers)

 

Ride Quality & Handling: rear wheel skids in teh air when you ar etrying to get on a slope from a side. This feature from Mahindra- they say its a common feature with all rear-wheel drive vehicles. I doubt it.

 

Final Words

Overall Experience: Am not satisfied neither am I disliking the car. its the best I could buy at this price, but, I cannot beleive this car was not throughly tested before getting it on road. I doubt if they have really spent 1500 crores on research and testing this vehicle.

1.The rearwheel skids in the air while getting on slopes, the answer given to my by Mahindra was that this happens with all rearwheel drive cars, which is not, I have my brothers SUV which does not do so.2. The doors are starting to show issues within 2 months of the purchase of my TUV, the tail door doesnt close properly and there is noise coming from both front doors.3. When we apply a sudden brake, there is hell lot of noise and I think its with the front disc brakes.4. There is a sound coming from underneath the gear box as if its hitting some metal, when going on bumps or speedbrakers.5. Within a month 2 parts in the engine have been replaced ( i do not remember the names, one was resonator and the other was something else)
