What We Think
It is quite common and natural for owners to feel horrific in such situations. After having spent around Rs 26 lakh, if such issues crop up, that is quite disappointing and concerning. But we must admit that we are not aware of the whole story. Hence, we will refrain from passing on judgements and drawing conclusions. We can just hope that Mahindra listens to this and fixes all the issues. It is necessary to ensure that the confidence of the potential buyers is not affected before purchasing a Mahindra car.
