Apparently they also launched a limited edition Xclusive with some cosmetic additions like sunroof etc. and if one was to believe the grape vine, they are launching a facelift in a few months. |
Yeah and we're hoping that the sunroof doesn't collapse during heavy rainfall! We all know the episode of OEM alloy wheels, the silent recall, so quality & associated safety is always a BIG question mark! Quote:

5) They have not been able to do anything about the door on the passenger side
6) Gear box was replaced once
7) Brake pads were replaced twice (that owes to the wear and tear and usage I presume)
8) Shock absorbers have not been of great quality since day 1
9) Dash board has been replace once and the storage space above the console has been replace thrice
10) LED lights had to be replaced once (within 3 months of buying the car) and headlights twice (once it was done for free on my insistence and once I had to pay)
Wow... almost a brand new car with all the above replacements!! |
Definitely a new car. I think they've run out of options of what to replace next!  Quote:

Biggest reason to sell it off as soon as possible. Quote:

From what I read, M&M was most definitely NOT being a customer centric company. If the top bosses have to lash out their DRs to get the job done then its downright pathetic!
If someone doesn't have a twitter account today they are simply at the mercy of the dealers, not a pretty sight. Quote:

It definitely looks like you had a defective car but I'm really surprised how you are so content in spite of all the troubles you went through. Most likely because you had a 2nd or 3rd car in the garage as an alternative. Imagine the plight of someone who buys an XUV5OO as their only car and then sees their "Fully Loaded Modern SUV" sitting in the service center 1/3rd of the time.  |
