hey hagar, it think you will find magic nissan in melville is actually the WA dealer, they always have a few onsite when im around there.

i think if the car is what they say it is then good luck to them. as has previously been said, noone is forcing you to buy one.
and to the people who have said buy a 2nd hand hilux instead, thats not a viable option for businesses because you missin out on the tax breaks.

We have a small landholding that is hilly and a bit slippery and the damn 99 Rodeo V6 4 X 4 has munched the engine – $$$$$$. The Minister for Finance (MOF- missus) and I just took a dual cab for a test drive in Queanbeyan – I was certainly suprised at just how well it went. Worse still MOF loved it. She had great vision and found it easy to drive, thought the switch to select 4WD and 4WD low much easier to use than a lever in the old Patrol. It sort of felt like a Landie Defender to drive – the rear springs are almost as thick as my Ford Trader Trucks. The thing feels tough but there are some rought edges in the finish department and I am concerned the computer is on the floor under the drivers seat (not good for the Cape). Q. Does any one know what the Low Range ratio is – couldn’t find it in the brochure although it is a Borg Warner Unit.

They should be tough given that Mahindra is a massive player in the agricultural tractor market. I have sighted a number of them at work around NSW farms, particularly around the Upper Hunter and Central West Slopes and Plains Districts.

The model in photo 7 (interior pic) would be really weird to drive, click on the photo then check out the pedal assembly arrangement!

Can more mahindra owners post their experience with the ute(mileage, reliability, comfort)?. Does it hold together well?.Many of the negative comments are from people who never owned it. Would be nice to hear from real owners if it true or not

Yeah I picked up a dual cab Mahindra Pik-Up couple of years back and though the feel of interiors and the not so great looks were part of the bargain, the salesman did promise a good deal and good deal it was.

I did look at the new 2009 model and they have improved the interiors a bit but still not great on looks to drive around in cities. Sure hope it continues to be good on performance and carry those loads on routes we can’t say roads. 2 years of it going through hell, the pik up is still ready for a ride on any road no matter having a big load.

Trust me its not worth trying to compare it with other utes. Its more on your need. I would like to upgrade to the 2009 model or may be a later one. But my purpose made the choice simple. High on performance low on cost and maintenance. If you want an efficient ute and feel ok with the looks, go for a test drive and you will know what I mean.

Have you got a Mahindra Pik Up? I, and I would imagine many others here would be interested to hear your assesment of it so far. How does it drive in town? what is your experiance with it off the sealed roads? Is there an existing product that it is comparable to?(ie: off road as good as a 40 serise landcruiser etc???)

I take it from your coments you feel the Mahindra is quite well bolted together and good value for money. As a work ute what would be the nearest comparison?

guys let me keep it to the point .. I hav had the car for a year and value for money is something i want to live with for the rest of my life no matter what others think of the brand ….. I want a vehicle that meets my purpose and not flaunt a brand that is half as sturdy and twice costly on the savings
