I think it's a best car forever to drive

All are good and nice better in look and drive so smoothly in any type of road and interior is so good and also facilities are good but I think that it also have to be modified in a better look

Thar

Maine Mahindra Thar used li aur use daily driving ke saath off-road bhi chalaya hai. Gaadi chalate hi power aur strong build ka confidence milta hai. Gaddhe, kacche road aur rough rasto par bina problem nikal jaati hai. Highway par drive stable lagti hai, bas speed badhne par wind noise thoda feel hota hai. Front seats comfortable hain, lekin rear seat long drive ke liye thodi tight hai. Mileage average milta hai par performance ke hisaab se theek lagta hai. Overall Thar un logon ke liye best hai jo normal car se alag experience chahte hain
