There is a reason taxis are Sumos and not Mahindra Boleros or some such. The 3.0L engine is utterly reliable and time proven. The vehicle is easy to work on and inexpensive to maintain and spare parts are readily available everywhere. The vehicle is common so mechanics with knowledge of them are common. If you travel the Manali/Leh road, one of the most demanding in the world, you will see Spacio after Spacio getting it done.
