Working out Logan on roads that are NO Roads

I wrote the last review for Mahindra Logan in December 2007, and after 8 more months this is a refined and better one since now i have driven the car for almost 1 year.

In the past 4 months i had two very long getaways. One from Chandigarh to BandhavGarh National Park and back and another one from Chandigarh to Nainital and Back.

Its nothing to really talk about the Nainital drive because the roads are smooth and this car can afford to go on. But Specifically to BandhavGarh National Park (1200 Kms one side) was a something that i would like to share with you.

The Roads of Madhya Pradesh are famous for not being just roads but more of the dusty tracks or no roads. Between Panna and Bandhavgarh there is almost no road. I was on my Summer Holidays and outside temperature was somewhat 46-47 degrees. No Roads just pebbles, No water around. People you can't see in this scroching heat. Inside its 23 degrees. No bumps if you are driving nicely, no power loss even on elevated Satpura Mountains. I worked out on that road for almost 3 hours before reaching the destination. Fears definitely gripped in case if vehicle gets a jolt somewhere (went with family) but it didn't went off anywhere. You always don't see a sedan to perform like an SUV. The raw diesel power of the Renault Engine really shows what it can do. Suspensisons were absolutely great. Even driving this car for 12 hours at a streach (5 am to 5 pm) the car is still cooled in with AC giving the best of the performance.

Fernando Alonso.oooooooooooooooo  Can you drive here ?

If  you really need to take out the best of this car just remember you have to drive it smoothly using its power, shortcuts will never let you do that. The only areas that i could feel it should come up with is its sturdyness on the bumpers. They are just showpieces. If you get a hit or hit something the bumpers just take the beating and losses its clipping.

Overall again the car has what it should be expected of so just bank on it and go ahead buying it.
