Just got a call from the dealer. Mahindra has announced free 4-year / 75,000km warranty on the Xylo from Sep 1st to Oct 31st and so they are refunding the 10,999/- I paid for the extended warranty. Nice!

Defected from a Mitsubishi Lancer to a Subaru Impreza. It's a mildly used 2008 model. Here are the details:

Trim Level : Sport Package

Got the one with the 5-speed manual transmission (slushboxes are lame). Pics and more details later.

Here's a reference image from about.com for the same trim level and colour.

Hi guys,

very happy to be a part of Team BHP. I have been a regular visitor of Team BHP and this is my first post.

I have been doing some research on the internet for a while and finally landed in Team BHP and i did not have to go anywhere else after that.Its like a automobile encylcopedia.

I have a santro 2000 model top end and a swift ZXI 2006 model right now. Since my family is getting bigger, we need a bigger car. For the past one month, i have been trying to select between Mahindra Xylo, Mahindra Scorpio and Toyota Innova. But after visiting this site, according to my requirements, the decision was very easy. I will be doing long trips and using highways always. Innova was the best choice in my budget

I have booked a Toyota Innova Vx 8 Seater with the Colour Champagne Mica.

I loved the 7 seater but i got disappointed seeing the thigh support offered in the middle row seats. The 8 seater had better support for the same. Also we are a four member family and we have a chauffer too so that makes five of us and one of us would have to sit in the last row regularly. So decided to go for the 8 seater. I wish the 8 seater had head rest for the middle row for the passenger in the middle. I find only that as lacking. But thanks to our forums, i was able to arrive at this decision of choosing the 8 seater over 7.

The reason why i chose Toyota Innova is because of its ride, handling, comfort and luxury. The reason i went for the top end is because of its loaded features like ABS, Airbag, Alloy Wheels, MID etc

I am getting the delivery by the end of this month. I have added the following accessories:-

1) Rear Spoilers
2) Scuff Plates
3) Rear Bumper Guard
4) Vibrasonic Roots Horn
5) Fabric Seat Cover
6) Chrome Beadings on the side
7) Teflon Coating
8) Under Chassis Painting
9) Fabric Floor and trunk Mats
10) Mud Guard Set
11) Muffler Cutter
12) Bumper Corner protector
13) 3M Sun Control Cooling Film


Guys, i would like some suggestions regarding the above accessories from you.

I am totally excited to own this innova and counting my days before i lay my hands on this car. Kindly let me know whether i am making any mistake by adding the above accessories. My dad does not want anything duplicate and have decided to go for only original accessories only.
