It isnt much value for money when you look at the safari or the new scorpio. and if you can go higher, the Tucson, Its fine offroad, its actually fun cos of of the RWD, you can really make the tail slide around if you're enthusiastic with the accelerator.
The GC is useful and the 4WD mode is not bad(didnt test it that much-terrain was not tough enough)
Depends on what you're looking for.
If you want road presence, look no further, actually this is the only area where it is a clear winner over all the other SUVs in india. and for some people, its the most important reason to get an SUV
if its going to be used on the highways and rough roads its ok, but there are better options
If its mainly offroad fun you're interested in, get the gypsy or an MM540
for offroad fun at the higher end, you wont get anything better than the pajero in india.
Bottomline? testdrive it thru a cycle involving highway,twisties, city and offroad.
I liked it offroad
it was ok on straight highways(could be faster)
it was bad in city traffic(but people did make way for me
)
It was completely, utterly, hopeless in the twisties
