I have owned (6)differnt 4×4′S. (2) Toyo’s,(1)Nissan, (1)Suzuki,(1)Rangie,(1)Disco.

I have driven numerous Work 4×4′s. L/Cr & Patrols. I get away and out of sight and I flog the guts, out of them.

I have always Caned my own 4×4′s, Off Road, because I love the Challenge especially in Mud.

So, instead of buying a Landrover TD5…(best one is the 2004 model), I am going to do what is currently done and put a “Chip” in the Ugly Mahindra, 4×4 Dual cab.. The Engine is, give or take the same in capacity, pre “Chip”, as the TD5 Disco.

Then I will “Lift Kit” the sucker, wack on a Roo bar.. to hang my Spotties..wack on a set of Muddies and go and Flog the Beast in the Scrub and Mud and still not shed any tears, because I scratched my paint job or got a little dent.

When I get home, I will hose it down..as usual and sit back with my Jack Daniels, I bought with the money I saved.

Guys, forget the weird look of the Mahindra and just “Flog the Guts” out of it and have fun like I do. You cannot beat the warranty. When it Breaks, go get another…you will still be in front. Chances are …Covered in Mud, no one will know what the hell you are driving anyway.

Advice to Mahindra…Lose the stupid oversized Mahindra sign, on the rear of the beast. It Sucks!!!

Tony from Mahindra, above…I find your comments harmless and unbiased really. I do not work for Mahindra, I am just a 4×4 Nut. Leave me a message here and if you know someone in Perth, who will give me a Mahindra… “Cheap”, I will “Make Good and Kit It up” for the above mentioned “Flogging” and then Review it, again. I like Landrover alot, but their dealers Suck. Licensed Thieves, who steal your money and call it Business.

As long as Mahindra “back” the Cars they sell “Honestly”, they will sell cars, People are not Dumb. Look at any Complaint Site’s and you can see alot of Unhappy customers, Ripped Off and Neglected, by Thieving Dealerships!

Good Luck Everyone…and Stay Safe!!!

I’ve had my single cab 4×4 for a month and am totally delighted with it.
It now has 4500km up and not a worry.

I regularly run up the Bells Line of Road from Epping to Clarence, near Lithgow, sometimes with a 1 tonne pallet in the back.

I get 850km on 71 litres of fuel and it cost me $19000.00 on the road.

Yes, it is as ugly as a hatful of a***holes, but it is a work truck.

I too, had a Commondore ute that spent a lot of time in their workshop.

Most of you previous “commentators”, most of whom have probably never even sat in one, need to get over your petty racist attitudes.

On the question of safety, this vehicle replaced a 1990 model Nissan. The Nissan had about the same level of safety features as the Mahindra. None.

But the Mahindra is much safer than the car it replaced.

Every day I see idiots on the Bells road, mostly octogenarians in Mazdas and Toyotas who think they can out-drive professional truck drivers. These are the bigger dangers on the roads, not a lack of ABS and airbags!
