Ride it With Confidence and Feel the awesome power

I picked up the M-Hawk in May08 after a long wait and multiple evaluations of SUV's - (Safari, Endeavour & Pajero) . Already covered 10500 kms until now, with 45% highways and rugged perfidous terrains and rest of them in City. Absolutely impressed by the power of the vehicle , and literally once you are crusing or at high speeds, the engine just gives a soft whrr. Thats' it. The city driving is at ease with the engine extremely responsive in the low gears, quick accelerations to fill the gaps. No time lag at all in pick up. The cruise and audio controls come in really handy in the long journeys. Enjoyed the crusing feature on Hosur - Krishnagiri strech.  After the 3000 kms , the gears have become extremely smooth. The mid row is adjustable and my family loves it with way it creates spaces and makes them comfortable. The longest streched covered was from Bangalore - Kochi - Munnar - Udumalpet- Trichur - Bangalore . Total of 2100 kms in 3 tank fills. (Aproxx 14.8kms/ltr). City Mileage varies between 10 kms/ltr - 11kms/ltr It just loves the dusty roads and makes the drving way easy in the extreme conditions. Absolute Power, makes you climb the Ghat sections with ease, even with the AC on and downpour outside. I almost tortured the vehicle mercilessly , taking it through the gruesome potholes and slushy muddy roads. Each time it came responding powerfully taking us with as much safety. ABS works and stops the monster wherever i braked in the wet conditions. All the latest feature turns out to be extremely handy , one things which is missing is the GPS . The tyre tronics were really handy , indicating the temperatures , when i was hitting 150 kms for more than 15-20 minutes on the Coimbatore - Palghat by-pass strech.The rain and light sensors came very handy , when the moods of the Munnar Mountains played their own sing song. The weather conditions changed dramatically from mountain to mountain , with sunshine on one end and thick dense dark clouds on the other.  The AC is very adequate and powerful keeping the interiors chilly throughout.  Well there are improvements required in the deck and console, forget it when you get an effortless acceleration , the road is all you want to cover. Sitting behind a monster and you will love the ride thouroghly. It is hugely comforting for my family , that they are always in this vehicle , due to the improved suspensions. No bend and twist , halt and jolt. Third row is little cramped , though with the middle row adjustments , you can make people comfortable there. You don't expect to take loads of people every you drive . Do You?   Enjoy the ride with confidence and be assured you have have a good value for money going in there at 12 lacs.  Nevertheless fetches you a good value in the Seconds Market. Maintenance is fairly low and easy  on your pockets. An assuring voice , which reminds you of the handbrakes on or fuel is running low or the seat belt not hooked , makes you believe that it is talking to you.The Custormer Service Experience is a marked improvement  from the reviews which i read, where i get a call every month from Mahindra's to know how the vehicle is performing.   The next vehicle to pickup is the Scorpio Hybrid with all the loaded features. 
Extremely Silent Engine - A soft whrrr while crusing, Highly Responsive, Very Fuel Efficient,Little bit Cramped in the 3rd Row, for the 8 seater . Though the 7 seater would be an addvantage
