Full Review

Hi All,

i m driving in Delhi. purchased my logan on 1st nov 2007

i have been reading lot many reviews abt Logan. I own GLX1.4

my logan has done 20000kms and have got my 3rd service done

my feedback as on 22/8/08:

mileage : Delhi @ 12-13 kmpl w/o AC & highway = @ 16-17 kmpl (Awesome i shud say- considering a 1.4L engine - 8 valve)
driving comfort :

- Power steering : harder than expected ( I had 2000 model of Ford icon 1.6Zxi prior to buying Logan and i found the steering of old ford to be slightly smoother than my new logan.

- seats : very comfortable

- cockpit -- good , on the contrary to the reviews mentioning reverse wipers and indicators -- i would definetely point out that the wipers are much stronger than most of the cars and the direction anyways doesnt bother the drive. Indicator direction may require initial adjustment(Ford too has reverse indicators keys)

3. AC : here i had some issues - it is not extremely hot these days in Delhi but still during the daytime i donot find AC to be actually chilling the Car as expected.. === AC of all my other cars {ALTO,ZEN-Estilo, Ford and WagonR(both of which i have sold now) was/is better performer}

UPON SERVICE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS SOME LEAKAGE IN THE AC HENCE THE PERFORMANCE WAS NOT GOOD== got it rectified under warranty and it is now working much much better.

4. Pick up :: Good pick up lets not forget it is only 76Bhp beauty and performs upto the mark . Although the ABC (Accelerator, Brake and clutch) are positioned closer to each other hence sometimes it may disturb you.

5. Braking: excellent - have encountered couple of instances where i needed to bring the car from 110-0 and i think it did in at max @2-3 seconds flat.

6. Gear shift== excellent -- i understand Renault is respected for both their Engine and Gear box and i should say they are both outstanding.

7. space -- should i comment on it?

overall i am content with the vehicle at this price and truly a Value for MONEY car.

THESE DAYS I M IN BAHRAIN AND LOGAN HAS BEEN RECENTLY LAUNCHED (OCT-NOV- 2009) AND TRUST ME THE SPECS HERE ARE FAR FAR BETTER THAN WHAT THE R IN INDIA... AND THE PRICE IS SIMPLY BEYOND COMPARISON.

- 1.6L LOGAN - AUTOMATIC IS @ INR 6L ON ROAD HERE.

- TOYOTA COROLLA - AUTOMATIC 1.8L - @ 9L ON ROAD HERE

- HONDA CITY - 1.6L AUTOMATIC - @INR 6.5L

DUTIES IN INDIA ARE MAKING THE PRICE SKYROCKETING --- @ 2-3 TIMES THE ORIGINAL COST .... TOO EXPENSIVE..

if any one differs with my review pls send me the feedback may be i have overlooked some thing in last 10 months of driving

Hi all !!!

Wanted to know if ayine hs got the CNG fitted in their Logan GLX1.4 - if yes please let me knnow the performance and experience !!!

i am thinking to fir mine with CNG from an outside party - is it advisable

thnx in advance

Milage is purely traffic driven ... maybe u r driving in too congested roads in bangalore and applying brake /clutch quite frequently!!!

as far as side mirror is concerned ... it is painful to see the way we all drive in India and if we are provided with right infrastructure and are really taught the way to drive we shall experience very very little such issues!!!

i am driving here in Gulf and trust me .. whatever i said above is totally true.

Logan anytime is good value for money.

Problem with 1.4GLX is , I get only11 kmpl at B'glore roads (with AC).

But on H/W it srteadily goes to 15-16 kmpl(with AC).

I find the rear view mirrors breaking quite often even with a slight rubbing to other vehicles.

Pl give your opinion.

Hi , Iam a proud owner of Mahindra Renault Logan 1.4GLX(at Bangalore).

Rear view mirrors break very often even by mistake they touch other cars mirrors(without causing any damage to other cars)

I find , getting rear view mirrors is a bit painful as they are not stocked sufficiently(mine is fiery black and mirrors are also painted with body colurs).

Can any body suggest if I can get them from grey market if avsilable at Bangalore.

Hi All, I am thinking of buying a Logan 1.4 GLX or GLE model. I have taken a test drive and am happy with the car. But I would still like to know what is the mileage of the car in city with AC. The company claims 15 in city with AC. Is this true ? Can someone please help me . ? Thanks to all in advance.

Believe me it has far better specs at much lower price - the specs broadly are - 1.6L , petrol, 111bhp; automatic transmission; all windows and mirrors - electronic control; airbags ; blaunpunkt system to name a few and the price on road is dinara5100.00 i.e @ INR 6Lacs. def. a good deal

Rekun, I bought a Logan 1.4 GLE last month after a much brroding (Swift or Dzire or Logan). I am pretty satisfied with the performance of the car. I too felt some issues with my AC. Will get it rectified from the Service Station. Thanks for your great feedback on the car. -- Anshul Dehradun
