Well, I test drove Innova, Safari Dicor, SX4 and Scorpio SLX as well as VLX, the only one that won my heart and mind was Scorpio VLX. I bought it about 3 weeks back and have already done 3500kms...

I took her straight to rajasthan for a family holiday.

Few things that i Like about her
1) It gave me mileage of 13/14 on the entire trip as i never went above 100kmph (the break-in period is 1000 kms on the owners manual but i will wait till 5000km i.e. 1st service). I consider this great mileage given that the Gujrat highway was under construction and i got bad traffic for about 200/250 kms.
2) 7 Ppl were really comfortable in the car, i have bought the captain seat version.
3) Driving for long hours was not very uncomfortable, I have done a couple of long drives in my Accent as well as Esteem, Scorpio is more comfortable. Cruise control rocks specially on expressways.
4) Did some off-road driving in ranthambore it was really awesome, was paisa wasool drive for me. Cant imagine taking a car for such a drive it had to be a scorpio.
5) All the extra feature like tyre pressure, auto lights and wipers are quite useful but the cruise control and Audio settings on the steering are really awesome.
6) Handling is very easy never did i miss any for my old cars, in fact scorpio made me realize what i was missing in my previous trips.

I really fell in love with Scorpio during my trip, Im back in Mumbai now, driving in the city is a pain (Traffic sucks) she keeps telling me to set her free, but Im too conscious speeding in the city, may be will take her on another small trip during the weekend.

I have not found too may things that irritate me in this beauty apart from the suspension it gives me a feeling that i'm in a small boat.

My little daughter used to hate sitting in the car for more than an hour (may be she felt claustrophobic) but she absolutely loves the scorpio. Nothing more a dad can ask for.

Will definitely post another one after the first service is done. This is my first post hope u find it useful.

    Hey Jitendra...its really an amazing coincidence that we had also considered the same cars u mentioned in the beginning of your review n no more...in fact even we considered the SLX first n then now finally have booked the fiery black VLX! Very nice review and i just needed to clarify with you if its ok to take the car on a long trip a week after delivery? and anything else to keep a watch on other than your speedo?

    Hi, Srinivasan, I had taken the car the very next day for a long drive (3000 kms to be specific) Had no problems wot so ever, just don't over speed, I kept it below 100 kmph throughout. Drive safe.

    Thanks a lot for the quick reply. N will keep it below 100kmph but gonna be hard with such power at your disposal i guess :)
