Argument? I could not find any facts to argue on.
I would be very much keen to learn as to what is 'not good on the whole' with their service, after all as an owner of a Mitsubishi vehicle it is in my interest to know what may be in store for me.
As for Mitsu's future in India. I believe like any other corporate entity they have professionals to take care of their goings on, so let us give them some credit and leave it at that.

But all of us know that Mitsubishi's service isn't good on the whole.
There might be a few dealerships and service centers around that are doing a prompt job, but Mitsibishi's presence in the future in India is bleak, and not much can be done about it. |
Age has nothing to with it but factual experience certainly. If you have any actual instance(s) where in you were left high and dry by Mitsubishi A.S.S. then share it, if not then do retrospect whether it is worthwhile to base statements on gossip.
Ever wonder why so many forum members independent of each other have similar views/reactions to such posts.
As for the dwindling sales, well Mitsubishi never sold in numbers and yet they are persisting. Does that tell us something? Do we have all the facts and figures in black and white for us to see into the future and predict their well being or otherwise. I do not think so, again let us leave it to Mitsubishi's management.

Look at the number of cars sold by Mitsubishi over the last few months.
A handful of Cedias and Monterios, and the ageing but brilliant Pajero still managing just about three-figure numbers. If that isn't enough, then I'm afraid I don't know what is. |
Reality is a very strong word as and as you come along you will learn that sometimes even what our eyes see may not be reality at all. Anyhow whether it is bashing or praising I have no issues on that front. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Facts, yes that is what I would be interested in and as I posted above, all of us would appreciate if you could make us aware of any experiences that you might have had.

Quite correct as per law of averages this should be true for almost all of the car makers, so nothing different here. Maybe I am lucky but I have had consistently satisfying experiences at various service centres in four different cities.

Good to know that you like Mitsubishi. While I drive one I am not a fan. That does not take away from the fact that the Cedia is an extremely satisfying car to drive and that I have no issues per se regarding their A.S.C. as of at the moment. In continuance, it also remains a fact that tomorrow as my driving requirements change I would not hesitate to move to a different make/brand.
To me it hardly matters what the company has planned for the next decade. As long as I like a product and have not heard too many sob stories from people who are driving vehicles from the same manufacturer, I am OK in going ahead and putting my money down. Now whether my car is only 1 out of the 3 they sell that month or 1 of 3000 does not matter to me. My buying decisions are based in part on actually visiting the work shops prior to purchase and throwing ten things at the service personnel ( I actually do this when ever I test drive with an intent to purchase) and the way they respond tells you a lot. I also make it a point to chat up other owners or drivers for their feedbacks and believe you me it has always helped. If there are any sob stories and after sales issues I like to know about them before I jump in and so far I have not heard any tear jerkers regarding Mitsubishi's after sales.

Trying to say that there is no basis for that statement is not going to help the thousands of readers who want a Cedia, but may not be aware of the after-sales issues. |
