The Mahindra is a big craft. Don't try to buy it, you are going to send your money to the wastebasket immediately. It's a noisy, uncomfortable, bad quality car, even for the third world.
The dealer in my country (Costa Rica) can't sell it to normal people (obviously), and they try to sell this thing to the government, like police agencies, they have a big team of lawyers trying for selling this bad quality car at any cost.
Stay away of this car and you are going to be more happy.
Congratulations for covering 30,000kms in a noisy, bad quality and uncomfortable vehicle within 1 year. You deserve a pat on the back.
I own a Mahindra Bolero and a Honda Odyssey. While the Bolero
is not in the same league as the Honda, It is a hardy vehicle
with very few problems. The exterior looks very good, as good as a japanese vehicle, the engine is also quite for a diesel, and reliable.
The interior is rough. The plastic dashboard looks very cheap. The seats are OK. The gauges are not very good.
The roads are bad where I live, and this is a great vehicle for bad roads.
The Mahindra bolero is a complete failure... wasted money! I would not recommend this vehicle to any one serious about a working vehicle with this characteristics. You'll be better off buying a 1978 FJ Land cruiser for a fraction of the cost of this one.
Dear Commentators.
I have full respect with your comments and experience. Mahindra had won a lot of appreciation for their cars in almost all parts of the world. You people tell which car in the world has a perfect combination.
Mahindra bolero is a nice car for its price. Very rugged. The interiors have improved in the latest models.
