Re: Red Rage - Mahindra XUV7OO - Initial Ownership Review Holy cow, I'm in awe of your writing! I have recently booked the XUV700 (The "I Booked my Car" Thread) and came here to read ownership reviews of the AX7 petrol manual variant, thinking I'll read the first couple of pages of the three we have here—but I wasn't expecting to dedicate half a Sunday reading 17 pages of a single review! Even your video of Kerala and that one short video in the beginning showing the auto folding ORVMs were absolutely awesome. Thank you for putting in so much effort into this thread. It is a fantastic contribution to this forum.
As you can read in the post linked above, I changed my booking from an MG Hector to the XUV700. I was wary of the latter because the official review mentioned that you can expect niggles from a complex Mahindra, but I genuinely wasn't expecting them to be so plentiful. On the one hand, it's extremely difficult to even consider another vehicle now that I've test driven the XUV700, but on the other, I cannot see myself devoting so much time and mental energy to keeping it in shape.
My Ford Ecosport has been my primary car for five years now and it's been an absolutely trouble free ownership experience for four of the five years. There was one year where I was stranded with the vehicle on multiple occasions because of a faulty battery, but once that was fixed, it has been smooth sailing. I plan to read the other XUV700 ownership reviews to gain a sense of how widespread the issues are, but what's your opinion (biased or otherwise)? |
