I did drive the Thar Diesel MT 4X4 from Delhi to Palampur and back to Delhi. I covered around 1200 kms in 4 days and used fuel of around 7000 (mostly with AC on). It's a family trip of 3 members. The trip was comfortable. In the comfort of the second row & I can rate it 4/5 otherwise 5/5 in everything else. The driving experience and handling were superb. I didn't drive the Thar beyond 95 km/h. I took the Thar on rental service.
