43k Happy Kilometers!

Just completed 43k kms on my Safari XZA+ ADV without any issues!!!

Absolutely no issues regarding reliability mechanically or electronically. I even hit a small pole while parking in the city and got a small dent on the rear passenger side door, fixed it for just 3500rs from my FNG, the owner is himself a car enthusiast and mechanical engineer and had worked in VW for a good time, has proper tools and man power for the work, got my car back in under 36 hours.

The car has performed flawlessly in all my trips, be it within city or on the highways. The music system deserves a mention it has a good base and overall quality feels nice only issue being the last row occupants need the volume to be at a higher level for proper listening otherwise flawless. Mileage mostly hovers around 13-14 KMPL and on long highway drives I was able to extract upwards of 18 KMPL , I drive in ECO mode 90% of the time the other 10% being occupied by the sport mode need some adrenaline rush.

The service cost comes around 15k for every 15k kilometers, I only go in for the 15k service and don't go for the middle 7.5k services, top up my DEF as per requirement at any petrol station. No issues at the service centers too just that they can't clean the car as good as my local car detailing workshop, so I opt out for it everytime I go in for service.

Also I want ask about the extended warranty - has anyone taken it? My service advisor has insisted to take it specially since I have an automatic, which he says will make trouble down the line.

The car parked on a rural road in Rajasthan.

Some people question the car's reliability and have heard horror stories myself also but I personally haven't had any trouble in my 1.5 years of ownership, given the chance I will buy it again with all the new bells and whistles except the tubelight in front.
