Most Helpful Review

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

Best car
