Hello TAI'ans,
As the family grew a bit bigger I always wanted a Conventional Seven Seater.
Started looking out for options,
1st option was the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga ZDi
2nd was The All New Refreshed Scorpio S10
Called up the Local Maruti dealer to get details about the Ertiga and while talking about exchanging my exsisting VW Polo Tdi CL the sales person immediately offered me a valuation and TD. Within a hour i get a call from the Sales Advisor to get directions for my home but I requested him to do the TD of the Ertiga someother time, All happened and family was kind of not ok with the Ertiga's looks. So dropped Ertiga.
Called up the Mahindra dealer at Coimbatore and they directed me to the local Mahindra dealer at Ooty and got a call from RM Vikram who was very courteous and soft spoken. The same evening Mr. Vikram came home and gave us details of the prices and other specifications of the Scorpio. Thats when suddenly our eyes went on to the next page which said "XUV 5OO Price list and feature list" A mere 2Lacs difference between the Scorpio and the XUV 5OO??
Next week we hit the Mahindra Showroom in Coimbatore to check out the Scorpio, As usual like how many others complain, No AC inside the showroom on a sunny mid-day. while we did not really complain about the AC, we checked the Scorpio and suddenly my mom said the XUV is looking good and all our eyes drew near to the Pearl White XUV 5OO on display, we spoke with a sales person there who gave us valuable info and demo on the XUV and we left home.
After a couple of days we called up Ooty Mahindra CAI Industries to evaluate our VW Polo and on the same day after a few nego we let off the Polo and booked the XUV5OO with the amount we sold the Polo for.
The same day I requested a TD of the XUV5OO but as the showroom had to get the TD vehicle from their HO in Coimbatore I waited for almost a week. I had driven my friends XUV5OO W8 which was of the initial batches but all that was in the plains. Wanted to test and feel how the XUV 5OO performs in the hills as we will be primarly using the car in the hills of Ooty.
The TD was a white 2013 XUV 5OO W8 AWD which had an odd 34000kms on the ODO. Did a extended testdrive with my dad and my twin boys, The TD was good except for some wierd noise from the front wheels which I did not bother. My boys were really excited wit the acres of space in the second row and the individual reading lamps, soon the lights were playing disco in the TD vehicle. Whole family was completely satisfied and were sold on the XUV5OO and we went further with the buyin process.
A few pics of the Test Drive Vehicle (CAI Industries) : Experience The Thrill
So when you notice the last pic where the back of the test drive vehicle pops out of our Porch one can come to an conclusion on why we had to sell our Polo and get home a XUV 5OO, Horrible roads i'd say!
