Wow with the crome stuff it does look good but what i meant was most SUVs look great in black the xuv in my opinion looks more smashing in purple , grey silver ( though very common) .btw is your xuv ? If yes how is it treating you ?

Congrats dockcap on your XUV AWD.

Your's is the 2nd AWD on the forum.

Waiting for the review on your XUV.

And good to see another Manglorean on board.

So you got your vehicle from Karnataka Agencies?

Or you took the vehicle from a dealership in Bangalore and Regd at Mangalore??

Ohhh Welcome to TAI.

Hi, Its my XUV and i guess colour choice differs from person to person. XUV is fine except for some small niggles which i can manage but i find the ride quality pretty bad on bumpy roads and when it goes into a pothole you feel as if the vehicle is going to fall apart.

Thanks, As the vehicle is not yet launched in mangalore My Brother in law who lives in bangalore booked the vehicle for me at Sireesh auto bangalore on 3rd october 2011. I had to wait for 5 months to get delivery because it is a AWD. BTW where is your house in mangalore?

That should not be the case. What is the tire pressure that you have kept?

I have filled nitrogen at company recommended 32 psi front and 30 psi back. The fall apart is only the feeling you get when you hear the thud and whole vehicle shakes when it goes into a pothole. Nothing has come loose as of now.

Sireesh is good at delivering vehicle on time.

So how is the vehicle serviced?

Aren't the Karnataka Agencies chaps aware of Service of XUV?

Is it during your visit to Bangalore?

How long it has clocked till now?

Nope i stay in Bangalore, my hometown Bantwal.

I visit Mangalore twice or thrice a year.

Hi, Thank you. Will start one in a few days.

I have to take the XUV to Bangalore to get it serviced until the vehicle is launched in Mangalore after which i can get it serviced here. My XUV has clocked 3000 kms in 1 month so i will have to visit bangalore some time next month for the first service which should not be a problem as it can be combined with a short holiday for my son who is having summer vacation now and also a nice long drive for me as the condition of the road to Bangalore is pretty good now expect for a short stretch in the ghats.
I also got Waxoyl paint protection and cavity sealant and more importantly the under body coating done for my XUV at Karnataka agencies Mangalore. I have attached some photos of the same below.

Why don't you also talk about the ride quality issue with the service guys ? And do ask about the brake pads many w8 owners are getting it replaced .

Re: Why Aria Failed to Take-off But XUV Did??

XUV succeeded mainly because of the price and better management of press by M&M.
There are at least one , where engine failed in XUV, but it did not attract enough attention either in press or in various automotive forum's

The guy has given his email id and also phone number.
iam posting it for another forum
Imagine the kind of coverage it would have received if it is TATA

Why do you think like that? I hear this everytime in this forum.

Why would everyone be partial towards Mahindra or unfair towards TATA? Both are Indian brands and infact TATA is a much bigger manufacturer. There should be some reason...
