Which is probably since she is built to a cost unlike the Superb which is an out and out European sedan and hence you feel the difference significant.

Tyretronics has never been error free even on Scorpios. This is one of the prime examples of the fact that M&M need to go a long way before their gizmos can be termed reliable.

Typical issue of a first batch car across most Indian Cos. They will surely change the lock design slightly to accommodate it in the next batch. I have heard of this issue in a few other vehicles as well.

One more example of the comparatively complex ICE giving up in isolated cases. M&M need to fix it asap. From your side, demand a warranty replacement if things are not sorted out the first time.

That is a real compliment to the XUV from a Superb owner. What was the opinion of the rear passengers?

This is bad. Real time FE gadgetry has now been amply mastered by most manufacturers. Over optimistic gauges especially in the sensitive FE dept, can lead to loss of customer confidence and need to be rectified immediately.

I would, along with other Bhp-ians strongly advise you from avoiding the install. The XUV is still relatively new and you would most definitely need the warranty.

Note: The XUV is built to a price

Please get the niggles sorted out ASAP and don't pursue ANY kind of electrical modifications.

If you still want to go ahead with it please post the exact specs of the planned install. Good deal/Bad deal can only be judged when we know the exacts specs of what you are purchasing.

All the best and always remember:

I'd be careful if I were you...

The immobilizer is the same as the Scorpio, Meaning Equally theft prone if not more.

They maybe talking about the older Scorpios. Newer Scorpios (refresh) come with i-Cat system & I have not heard many Scorpio Refresh getting stolen easily.

Mods sorry for going OT:

The day my Scorpio got stolen a gentleman who was a doctor also lost his Scorpio Refresh (Got to know from the MASS) To the best of my knowledge Scorpio thefts have Increased and Mahindra are totally beaten by the number of thefts.

PS: This was one of the prime reasons for me for not choosing the Scorpio again.

Yes there is a switch setting to keep the leds on during daytime.

Thanks for pointing this out. So you are saying that the LEDs can actually perform like day time running lights, that is, without the tail lights. Can you just inform me where this switch is?

Even I was very curious about this. During the 2nd TD, I checked it out. The control for DRLs is on the headlight stalk itself. Its the first position on the stalk, before Off. Did not get time to test it though.

Good. Congrats! Can we expect a comparison of Innova and XUV on ride quality and driving dynamics soon?
