Thank you for your wishes xsrahul. Stay tuned to my thread and I am sure you won't be disappointed.

I just felt every part of the TUV and the search throughout your post. In the past have read many posts but your touching post deserves a big pat on the back.

Ha ha ha, hope my posts have not made you sentimental (just kidding)

The TUV is a very good product from Mahindra and ticks the right boxes offering something unique in styling which was a gap in the current market.

The TUV has its pros and cons, but as a complete package it is a winner, which Mahindra has introduced.

In fact motivated by your post, I went to the Infinity Autolinks (Vikhroli (W)) showroom to take a TD of the TUV T8 and boy oh boy does it have a awesome pulling power or what. While I am no one to question timing stats quoted by other friends above, but the TUV does push you right back into the seat and feels like it delivers a kick in the backside (maybe that's because its rear wheel drive compared to FWD of the other competitors)

You got it mate. That is the precise reason, I am advising everyone who are considering it to test drive it. Figures on paper don't really tell you the real life experience. One has to drive it to believe it. If you have a sedate driving style and like to potter around (with tonnes of load) then this is the best car in the segment. Remember though this is a SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle), it is not a sports car. Sports cars are usually very powerful, agile, dynamically balanced etc. The TUV has sufficient power and most importantly very good low end torque. It can pull any load you throw at it.

If your ownership of the Indica is anything to go by, we are hopeful that the new addition to your family serves you well for many more Smiles. Cheers and keep posting

I stretched the Indica for too long (for various reasons). I am not looking at such a long horizon with my TUV. It could be between 3-5 years, but rest assured those will be very eventful. I think a 5 years time span is the best to change your ride.

TaurusAl, I would suggest you take extensive test drives of each of the above cars that you are considering. I guarantee, you won't be making a wrong decision.

My pleasure naveendagar. Feels good to know that you found it worth reading.

It was shocking to know the goof up of M&M guys regarding missing "B pillar" tape. Any further update from the quality assurance gentleman you met on the bunk??
|
Thanks for reminding me about the missing "B pillar" cladding. I sent a reminder to the Quality Manager and pat came his reply, "I joined yesterday only after holidays, will check and update you". I am really not hopeful that there will be any positive outcome, but if there is, then it would be a very pleasant surprise.

Man you are simply great, 120+ km of test driving, how could you manage that? Hats off to the dealer for making the car available for such long test drives.

Pleased to know that this thread has proved a useful guide to you.

I have booked the T4+ variant and awaiting delivery, in the meanwhile, I am procuring vital accessories like the Audio head unit, speakers etc. I am going for the Blaupunkt Las Vegas HU and would like to know from owners like you as to what would be the suitable speaker size that would fit in to the TUV's door speaker panel. The SA could not specifically say and I did not carry a measurement tape while going for the booking. So if you guys can suggest the suitable speaker size and may be some specific models too it would be very helpful. Cheers!

Many congratulations on booking the TUV and welcome to the clan of proud TUV owners. So how much did the T4+ cost you on-road? Please give the break-up. I am sorry, I won't be able to help you much on the speaker size selection
Edit: Seems this is your first post on TBHP, so a warm welcome to the community as well.
