Nice sporty vehicle, have to wait and see for long term performance

I test drove, Ford  Endevour, Mitsubishi Pajero and Cheverlot Captiva ( Honda CRV dealer could not provide a test drive even after requesting few times). The height of the driver seats and leg room was the deciding factor against Ford endevour ( I am not looking for fuel economy if somebody looking fuel economy then they should not go for any of the SUVs). The factor went against Pajero was the outdated model and the old body shape. Pajero is bigger than Captiva still feels and body feels very light/flimsy on the road.

Captiva the design is very good, nice interiors, very good leg room for the front seats and the middle seats. The rear seats are not comfortable at all and better not to use and use it as a luggage space only. The driving comfort is very good, nice view from the drivers seat except for rear side. You have to use the side mirrors to view the vehicles coming from behind rather than the centre mirror. The airconditoner works really good, seats are not bad but as not plush as the ones you find outside India but good compared to the other models. If you are cruising on highway it is good, in town the first and second gear the power is really good, but when you are on third gear inside the city, the engine clutters and there is no much power.

Pros

Bold look and good interiors

Cons

Rear seats and rear view from the rear view mirror.

Don't ask about fuel economy if you are planning to buy a SUV, enjoy your driving ( Hope you are driving the vehicle not your driver)

Below comments are after using 3 weeks,

I drove around 1000 Kms in first 3 weeks, the mileage in what I get in Mumbai city is around 10 Kms per Litre.

The aircondition is very good, for the front seats and middle row, still  dont know how it will be  in the last row because there is no seperate vent for the middle and last row.
