I don't have any examples or data but gut feeling is that its only in a 3rd World Country like India that a soft top vehicle is equipped with an A.C. from factory. It may be present else-where but not at a place which has such hot weather. I've had similar experiences like yours with WagonR. Mine were in Gypsy & M800. Tough to imagine driving a vehicle without A.C. now. Inspite of the fact that Thar will come with an A.C. in softop, I must praise MM for listening to consumer demand & acting on it. Though there's a lesson for them for the future, engineer & develop(R&D) products keeping these factors in mind & not as an after thought. | ||

Unless Maruti and/or Tata decide to give Thar some competition, Mahindra can pretty much dictate the price... no other reliable option in the market. | |

BANNED | ![]() Well Mahindra fulfilled long pending demand of customer by adding AC and Immobilizer to Thar but at what cost? Vehicle like Thar selling at almost 8.5 lakh on road is too much and I feel it is just sheer waste of money or only pure enthusiast would buy it. 8.5 Lakh would have justified if Mahindra provided quality of JEEP like inside and outside of Thar not just Mahindra 540 fitted with CRDe engine and suspension. A big thumbs down. ![]() |

| ![]() Oh no!! Just like a refreshed Thar, this is going to be another refreshed dream-on thread. Guys who have experienced the past wishlist threads would know what i am talking about. You could just buy a Thar now and when it is due for a replacement, you could expect this one to be ready. Am i right BD sir? But i sincerely hope that TATA and MUL do come up with some good OTR ready vehicles at affordable prices. @BD: If you are really working on one such vehicle, i sincerely wish you the very best. Cheers, Deepak PS: I do not know if Thar is doing good numbers or not in the market. But, all Thar threads do superb numbers on TBHP ![]() Last edited by starter : 11th April 2012 at 20:49. |

Look around for a thread by GTO, the owner of this site and the owner of a M&M Classic that was refurbished about 3-4 years ago. He runs A/C in his classic and swears by it. Others with rag tops have also said they have no problems. It works good. Wise to plug obvious holes though. | |

| ![]() Even before the Thar was conceptualized. Had this idea in my head which I am so far not able to materialize due to Vitamin M deficiency. What will it be like if we mate an Ex Army 550 with a Mhawk engine? I inquired and somebody told me a used Mhawk engine is available in the range of 1lac at Mayapuri. Though I have to visit and check it for myself. The point here is, if this is possible, you can have a 2.2 Mhawk "Thar-ish" vehicle within 3-4 Lacs range. With all basic bells and whistles. ![]() |

What color is your Thar? How long did you have to wait? What mods do you plan? Do start an ownership thread, will be lovely to see one more of those! Of course first of factory fitted AC on TBHP. Drive safe, brake well, you need to in the Thar! | |
