Think ten times before you buy

Exterior One cannot ignore this beast on road. It's way better than its predecessor. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Quite spacious and comfortable cabin. Triple AC zone helps. Dash is neat and helpful. Expected GPS installed or having a provision in such an expensive car. The side mirrors these days are expected to be self collapsible when engine is turned off, but one had to remember and manually fold it through a switch. The left passenger seat is basic. The third row had decent enough space, but not for tall people. Cabin is quite quiet considering there is a 3.2 lt. engine under the bonnet.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox One will definitely like the grunt. But it struggles to take off, though I was not expecting it to be a racing car. Despite a 3.2 lt. engine. I wonder how it will manage with a2.2. Have driven it through Mumbai Pune Expressway, handling was good and fairly grounded. But it lacked the punch which even an XUV can provide. 

The worst part was in Lonavala it just went dead. Ford servicing guys struggled to find out what went wrong. Now comes the 24s7 service offer. All they provided was two kids who arrived at our resort the next day morning with batteries to jump start, though we all knew it wasn't a battery problem. I myself had to organise the towing the vehicle on flat bed u all the way to Panvel. Then it took them for days to diagnose the problem. Apparently the transmission unit failed and had to be replaced. It's sad for a two month old car.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride is comfortable. Handling and manoeuvring is fairly easy considering its size. But it seems a guzzler. There's a massive difference difference between the claims and actual. I am getting 5.7. Expected it to be better on Expressway, but also there also it clocked just 5.8 considering I was driving within 100km/hr. 

Final Words This one has only two airbags in the front. Considering the price the side airbag curtains should have been provided. I actually wanted to go for the top end Titanium but that had 7 months waiting. Though after two months I hardly found any Endeavor on road in Mumbai. 

Areas of improvement Mileage mostly. Or they should be upfront in this area. Small bits like automatic mirror collapsing, front sensors, left seat adjustment, auto door locking while driving doesn't cost too much and should have been provided.

Exeter styling. The terrain management system.Fuel economy currently at 5.7. Pickup. Went dead in two months
