#XUV The Good In Class!

HELLO,I AM HARISH MITTAL.I PURCHASED MY MAHINDRA XUV 5OO w8 IN APRIL 2011. I used to use this car for my long trips but later on after 3 years i started using this car in my city yamunanagar.The car itself has brisk acceleration and has enough power,stability is good till the speed of 135 km/hr. overall i like driving this car but maintaince costs are very high.The car interior has major issues all plastics are used of cheap quality which makes bad sounds when pressed hard.The engine pay has lot of sensors which is technically good but most of the sensors malfunction a lot as i said that i used my car in daily purpose the suspension itself turned into bad condition.The suspension bushes cracked up and i had to get new one. Service cost is also high as compared to TOYOTA i usually end up paying 20-25k on major services,currently my odometer on  car is 72389 and on 70000 service i payed approx 24k which is a large amount. I get mileage of around 9 kmpl in city and 14-15 on long drives especially highways. BRAKES of car are not good enough a couple of days before i braked hard in city and the brake fluid pipe bursted and all fluid was spilled on road and it costed me rs2000 to change the fluid and pipe. Spares are really expensive. All the car needs is extensive car, if u will give good care to the car, i will surely give you sheer driving pleasure.CAR headlights are also very good enough,the visibilty is excellent,handling of car is excellent,comfort and rear legroom is also excellent,look of car is also really good. Briefly the car is good enough,if anyone is considering to buy a car around of rs 15-25lac then one must go for xuv,it is a big car with good road presence and remember it eats up your money really well.
