Experience: My Scorpio and family have completed a years of great enjoyment. So far so good as possibly one can see from the pictures attached! Lots of long trips, Ooty, Chennai, Mysore,kerala etc and a whole lot of town usage because this is my preferred daily drive vehicle. Enjoyed several trips with friends here and there carrying some luggage - amazing storage space provided one packs things carefully in the rear.
Positives: First class quality. Comfy. Enjoyable to drive (especially the Turbo Whine and responsiveness of the engine). Decent brakes. Low maintenance ,just to iron out a few niggle
General: The vehicle has proven itself to me as Mahindra usually does, yet again in terms of its "indestructible reliability and solidity". Even today I am in receipt of several extremely reasonable offers from the "pre-owned" marketplace - which goes to show the enormous respect that a well-kept Scorpio can earn for itself! No unhappy rattles and other irritating niggles which normally begin to beast a One Year old vehicle.
Tyres: Tyres etc in perfect condition as I habitually rotate them every 5000Km and check their pressure every time I fill Diesel. I use only Air - never Nitrogen.
FE: Normal Diesel is being used. Fuel Efficiency overall has been around 15 in the city and 17-18 on highways.
Seats etc: No problem with comfort in general - as always better to be strapped in otherwise it can chuck you around a bit while at speed in the hills and twisty roads. I find however as the primary driver that I benefit a lot from an extra back cushion which helps my lower back on long drives.
Servicing:iam servicing my vehicle in m&m authorised dealers.
Engine Oil/Gear Oil etc: Always stick to the recommended types and change as per regulation. Gears are smooth .
Clutch: scorpio clutch is nice i replaced my clutch at last service of my scorpio.it lasts for 100,000kms. However I have changed it and they adjusted to play a little. It is absolutely smooth and peaceful now. Best is to use the torquey engine in first/ second gear when in traffic- with one's foot completely off the clutch. Atleast one is reasonably sure it wont burn out easily.
Power Steering: No troubles at all so far.
Battery: No troubles so far. It is checked and topped up average once a 4months.I have changed my battery 2 years back.
Suspension/Body: No troubles at all with the suspension, ride quality, shocks etc. No Body troubles so far too.however there is a decrese in body height,as it has done 100,000kms. we have done full suspension over haul at the last service.
.
Overall:All in all, I am proudly stating here that I am glad I chose the Scorpio over all the other Jeep-ish SUV-ish options available to me at the budget.
I am extremely pleased and a happy customer of Mahindra - continued association over many years - and if things go on like this, I am happy to continue for a longer time as their customer.
Am very glad to have this vehicle and so is my Dad and mom.
