Dear Commentators.

I have full respect with your comments and experience. Mahindra had won a lot of appreciation for their cars in almost all parts of the world. You people tell which car in the world has a perfect combination.

Mahindra bolero is a nice car for its price. Very rugged. The interiors have improved in the latest models.

Mahindra has earned little respect in any country. Every professional car review has labeled this maker as completely incompetent! 'Avoid like the plague', 'Better off walking' and 'Appalling' are just a few quotes from various reviews I have read.

I have my Bolero since 2007, and have done over 135000 km with no trouble except for changing a battery. I have gone through mud where other 4X4 pickups could not go.

Yes it's a bumpy ride, but it can handle a load very well, and when I went on a fishing trip, the other pickups were having a hard time keeping up with me; they all wanted to know what motor is under the hood.

Yes the interior is cheap plastics, but look how cheap the vehicle is compared to other vehicles. I will most certainly buy it again.

I am with you on this one. You buy a vehicle for a purpose. I have a Mahindra, though not a Bolero, the Scorpio 4x4, 2010, in Kenya. My colleagues bought Hilux and you can’t imagine what the Mahindra could carry vs the Hilux. Yes drive and aesthetics are different. I still have my Mahindra, over 192k with one battery change, on its third tyre change. Ball joints and shock absorbers changed once, springs have never sagged despite very heavy loads. No rust and I am a dairy farmer. All hay, manure, fodder, name them all.

What do you want? Choose your car for that. I choose any Mahindra for small cargo, any Tata for large cargo. See you there with my better fuel economy and maybe 50% less capital cost. I service every 5k as a commandment, drive some of the worst terrain in search of fodder.

Spot on and very honest. I too have a Mahindra Scorpio 2010 4x4 in Kenya. Hiluxes bought by colleagues the same year look like they were in several collisions. My Mahindra supported my trucks which used to ferry stones, sand and everything for construction from some of the most treacherous quarries. Besides, I had a large dairy and vegetable farm and the Mahindra is also frequently driven by my wife for everything including school runs. I still do veggie farming and large scale piggery. 155,000 Km, one ball joint and battery change, on third tyre change. No smoking, no sagging of springs, great turbo. No worries for timing belts nor chains as there are none. Still as clean as they get and good aircon.

It will never be sold. Am looking to buy the discounted 2019/2020 model as the face-lifted version is on sale in Kenya. And I will surely buy the Bolero FB.

2022, still have the vehicle. Done Nairobi - Kampala with minimal stops to get a drink for myself, not for the car, three times. Doesn't seem to be retiring soon and will do Nairobi - Kampala - Fort portal and have some fun with gorillas in Eastern Uganda.
