Completed 1 yr with my Thar 4x4 petrol AT: Will I upgrade to Thar Roxx

From driving around in the city, night drives, highway trips and off-roading excursions, my Mahindra Thar puts a big smile on my face every single time.

BHPian Dippy recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

It has been a couple of months since I updated this thread but how time flies.

My Rex (Yes the official name now ) turned one on the 28th of July and the odo now stands at a shade above 17000 km. Here is a pic from when the odo hit 17k:

What a year it has been. From driving around in the city, night drives, highway trips and a couple of off-roading excursions, Rex puts a big smile on my face every single time I take to the wheel. Mahindra Modi has been great with the service they offer and I will be sticking to them for all my future services. A very professional bunch.

It has so far been a hassle-free ownership experience save for a couple of niggles like the instrument cluster going blank for a second once in a blue moon etc.

Also, the black paint from the grille has gone off. Will have to give it a respray soon:

A couple of pics of Rex:

I recently joined a Thar owners community based in Mumbai called 'Terrain Conquerers'. It's quite an active group full of enthusiasts who do regular drives in the city and out of it.

Here are pics from when we met up for a breakfast drive in Mumbai this Sunday:

I was recently asked if I would be upgrading to the Roxx. My answer is in the negative. Sure the Roxx is a great and sorted product but a 3-door SWB 4x4 is a different breed altogether. With the number of Roxx slated to be on the roads in the future, it will make the 3-door just more special.

Also, I am now the only driver in the house since my brother has moved abroad. So the Thar and the Polo GT are just perfect for me.

I am however looking to see what bolt-on parts I can fit from the Roxx onto Rex, especially the tail lights.

That's all for now.
