the dark horse

its misunderstood: the performance is better than I had wagered for after 28500 kms. The car has only been serviced thrice. It performs well on any gradient be it steep or on uneven roads. I am surprised by its performance. When I bought the 110 RXL I was afraid that I had bought a wrong car because there weren't many around and the most people commented - "Oh God! why a Lodgy." Today, I think i made the right choice. I have been driving for 40 years and I find this car has a long wheel base which makes it sturdy and only a novice with a lot of effort will topple it - it dose not leave the road at 140kms/hr - I haven't driven any car before this at that speed before though the rims are 15" not 16". It tackles pot holes with ease and till date the bottom has not scraped inspite of huge bumps and bad roads. Don't expect it to clear the ground like my erstwhile Xylo but while the Xylo bucked on bad roads this Lodgy does not. I( have only serviced it thrice and till now no other money has been spent. The interiors are spartan but balancing the cost worthwhile. Its value for money. Don't be disappointed by its sluggish take off, it performs,if you are not interested in racing and on highways - with the turbo chipping in at 70 - you surprise by showing a clean pair of heels at the well known models. There have been very few to overtake me on highways.
