Re: "SARAH" - Detailed XUV 5OO Ownership Experience
Hi Suhas,
Congrats buddy on your white beast and nice review. I am planning to go for the W8 version and even I am looking for the white colour. I think white is the best suited for this beast. I ave one question Suhas. Since you purchased the beast recently do you think it is the updated version and if so have you faced any major problems as such. By the way enjoy your beast buddy![[:)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Smile.gif "Smile [:)]")

Thanks RagMax.
Since you have some concerns about GC here is the picture to get you a sense. Looks like you are already on verge of making your choice, but still skim through the general car buying tips, might come handy. So far we are![[:D]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Big%20Smile.gif "Big Smile [:D]")
enjoying the ride. But you know what, every time I wanted to pull SARAH out either rains heavily or fuel prices go up .
Coming to issues, I had gone through a similar confusion but went ahead with my decision upon getting clear personal assurance from M & M straight. Just to highlight, the beast has gone through two plus years of fine tuning since its inception.
General thumb rule, take it for test drives as many times as you can and decide once you are absolutely convinced.
Good luck with your shopping.
Thanks RagMax.

Thanks Suhas,
Yes I will be taking the test drive but wanted to get a confirmation that the new model is already on road. Just saw the picture, if I am not wrong that silver thing is the covering over the fuel tank protecting it from the hot exhaust pipes. Is there a small dent on it. Did the car hit something hard on the road. Hoping to join the XUV owners bandwagon very soon. Happy driving your beast buddy

Thanks Manoj for your wishes.
Yesterday, my key-less remote did not work on my way back to home. I entered manually.Went home and checked with second key - it worked. Looks like battery got discharged. In case of manual the side rear view mirrors don't close automagically with car lock, one observation.
I suspect keeping the key close to mobile in same pocket something to do with the discharge.

Have to confirm, wether the remote battery discharges by placing it with mobile phone in same pocket.
@superbad
RM deliveres batteries ?

Re: "SARAH" - Detailed XUV 5OO Ownership Experience
@Superbad, RM told me he would deliver the battery this weekend. As per RM that may the remote over used prior to delivery, so it got drained quickly.
I was just suspicious whether it has anything to do with placing next to a mobile, since it is just weeks from the time I took the delivery.

you need not visit the service centre for replacement of batteries(remote), so early. especially when other set of key is working fine.
since it is a brand new car, they should be the one visiting to your place to replace batteries of the remote.

Re: "SARAH" - Detailed XUV 5OO Ownership Experience
SARAH turns 1 month today. I am yet to show freeways otherwise I am enjoying the ride so far. More than I, both my mom and daughters are. Due to heavy rains in Chennai I was not able to take it out a lot. On top of rains, Kids are also busy with their exams so waiting for holidays to go for a long drive.
Looks like TML has heard my inner voice In recent weeks, I see them advertising Storme on TV. in fact I came across couple of Stormes on Chennai roads![[clap]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Clap.gif "Clap [clap]")
. This morning when I was heading to my work, it was an Urban Bronze over took my beast. By the time I pull my phone camera, the Storme got passed the exit I supposed to take. it was really good to find that from my view finder. , alas close contender during my car hunt.
