This is my second review after driving the Logan DLE for 2 months (2000 KMs). The car handles well in a typical crowded Indian road. Driving pleasure and comfort are quite good - though, if you want to zip through the streets with very fast acceleration you should then go for higher end diesels like the Verna.
I got a mileage of about 25 Kmpl with the DLE - city and highway combined with minimal AC. (AC is adequate - no complaints).
The AC controls are placed a bit awkwardly, I am yet to get used to handling the AC and fan buttons without looking at them. Wish the side mirrors could fold inside a bit more and the boot had a release lever. Not sure if Mahindra can provide some more refinements with the interiors - but the interiors can be better.
The Logan DLE will be good to you if you drive it gently - if you drive it over 120 kmph the engine will make its presence felt - but as I hardly drive above 80kmph, I am not complaining.
The bumper (plastics) according to me are very soft and can get damaged easily if even a Maruti Omni gets too close - as happened with me - but I am thankful that it did not drop off like it does with Indicas or Indigos.
Overall, I felt that the Logan DLE is reliable, comfortable, spacious and gives great mileage.
