Safety vs Mileage

Safety and weight of car must increase . Although on mileage terms vehicle is good. Maruti should reduce the car prices so that it could be in reach of every middle class family.

Thar Review

1. My Buying experience is shameless. 2. One of the best Riding Experiences I ever had. 3. Look of That Is good that everyone knows. 4. Service is Good. 5. Pros: Trending, Have Respect, Comfortable, 4*4 Wheeler. Cons: Overhyped, Mileage is not good, Manual on the price we can expect semi-automatic.
