Mahindra Quanto - Disappointed with Couple of Issues on the Vehicle (New Vehicle 2K Driven)

This is a review of a new vehicle driven for 2000KMs.

Exterior Not Much Complaints about Exterior, The only things is Bumbers could have looked Sporty unlike Old Xylo Traditional ones.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) No complaints on Spacing but on features like having a good quality music system with good speakers, Reverse Parking Camera in the top model alongwith the steering mounted audio controls could have added advantage, Front Row is comfortable compartively but this vehicle also carries body rolling issue (even on the low speed when you turn the vehicle) its not only felt at the front row (low) but really high for the back passengers. Otherwise vehicle is comfortable on high speed.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Surprisinly Engine does'nt look like to be 1499cc. Its definately makes you feel as if you are driving a 1.9Ltr engine unlike its other 7 seater competitors with upto 1.5ltr of engine. Fuel Economy is doubtful. I read somewhere in the user reviews on low fuel economy and I tend to agree that the vehicle is not giving a good fuel economy (may be I had breaking issue on my vehicle (Breaks are always on - Manufacturing Defect).

Ride Quality & Handling Front Row is comfortable, but this vehicle also carries body rolling issue (even on the low speed when you turn the vehicle) its not only felt at the front row (low) but really high for the back passengers. Otherwise vehicle is comfortable on high speed.

Final Words Well Quality is a main concern, I have seen lot of issues on my vehicle which shows the poor build quality like Safety belts inlet holder was not tighenned enough, the fuel lid (Connector) is broken, Sun Glasses Holder is not smooth while opening. Small Issues in the vehicle which comes in 9-10L Braket leaves you with disappointment.

To worsen the case, I realised that the vehicle runs hard and tends to stop itself when driving in neutral and I was informed by service center guys that the Central Breaking System is faulty (so another manufacturing defect) and it will be replaced (no ETA yet as the part is not in stock)

Areas of improvement (I hope someone from Mahindra reads it)

I am not going to be the first one to right on this. Quality is really bad. If you cannot increase the Quality. Then make this vehicle a lot cheaper that what it is right now.

Another Main Concern, The issues I have faced on my vehicle makes me realise that the Quality Inspection was not done before the product was handed over to the customer.

Tall Boy Design, Some Good Features - Door Step Light, Watchman Light & Parking Locator (Sound)Poor Plastics, No Audio Control, Steering, Vibration on Breaking & Tremendous Vibration of 2nd Gear
