Stevo yes you are a devo. Patronising racism is alive and well. Bet you tell your good little wife (if you have one) to do what she does best also?

Good enough to feed your foolish belly but not good enough to build a car? They proved detractors wrong with the Enfield motorbike and Triumph ventures and PS, I saw my first rockin Mahindra in Australia more than 20 years ago.

Be careful they don’t put brakefluid in your next curry…

Oi Baddass. What a sucky thing to say. The fat Aussie farmers are responsible for feeding your lazy ass that probably squishes into an office chair 9 – 5 on weekdays. Farmers work every damn day and during the night. He’s probably fat because he works too many hours to feed smug pigs like yourself to go and get his thyroid checked, or the fact his endocrine system is damaged beyond repair because he has to spray just the right chemicals to keep your pansy food just perfect and free from bugs and grown to just the right size just so you can have your yuppie meals in your favourite restaurant.
So, unless you are an eco aware, grow-your-own, prius driving (or bike riding) hippy, shut your pie hole. Is the guy posing in front of the Mahindra? No, unlike you, he’s real. And just remember, that fat farmer is who puts the food on your table while you get on with life.

Go Mahindra!

Visited the subcontinent again over Xmas ’09. A cousin had only recently bought a Mahindra Scorpio, diesel, top-of-the-range, for the equivalent of AUD35,000 (INR1.4m). Looks crap, but a 75 minute ride in it was great. Over the years I’ve seen others’ Mahindra vehicles do many years of hard work in rural areas in India where roads are very testing & different to here in Australia. I reckon they’d be okay here.

Not comparing apples & y’know, but all of my Indian-made clothing completely outlasts that made inside ‘the wall’.

I have purchased a mahindra and am very happy with the vehicle,it is 3 mth old with 18,000klm on the clock and never missed a beat.living 400k from the nearest major city I do a lot of driving to and from.It has the power to pass a tripple road train and is very good on fuel averaging around 9lts to the hundred k. I cannot see where others can claim tojo,nissan and mazda are good Aussie cars,India was on our side 1939 to 1945 where was japan.
If you own one our have tried them out have your say but just to knock something different just proves that old saying “an empty vessel makes the most sound”.

more competition = better for consumers, in my book.

Soon we will have 5 year warranty for most cars, and 7 for Korean and Chinese cars. Bring it on, I say.

Great job Mahindra

OKAY,

There’s some great comments here, but can someone define quality a little more than a nice paint job, panel gaps that line up or covered screws.

The Great Wall Ute will shine for the first 1 or 2 years and then the planned in obsolescence will start to bite, like it does with Nissans with Chinese components.

The Indian Mahindra is not pretty, but its an honest ute, built to go for a long, long, long time. I’ve seen them with six figure mileages and driven them, they are agricultural, but they are robust.

Great Wall will make a product like your $10 toaster, take your money and shove you later on, be very very wary of this company and its origins, they don’t care a jot about longevity or robustness, you have two cars, from two very different countries with systems at each end of the spectrum.

If you care that it looks pretty and will shine at least for 2 years buy the Great Wall Ute, if you want to use it till it drops much like they do in India, buy the Mahindra, you wont be disappointed.

If you buy a Mahindra you should be committed. If they want to make money in Australia – stick to what they do best and open up a nice little restaurant.

THe Mahindra on the other hand should be okay, as TATA build a lot of things, even parts for planes, and i dont see any of them falling out of the sky. But with my own money, id buy a second hand Rodeo or Colorado.
