I was looking for a 4 wheeler for almost an year, meanwhile working out my finances. I test drove the honda city 2008, maruti sx4 and the ford fiesta. Though SX4 seemed to win, I was worried if a car carrying 5 persons is worth 9.5 lakhs. We had almost gone to book it, with cheque and other things ready, but thought of waiting for just another day. The next day, I just dropped the idea simply.

Today, all of a sudden, I felt I should not go for looks, but for comfort and value for money. So I began researching for the Mahindra Xylo. The E8 model seemed to satisfy my requirements for comfort as well as price (though if it would not hurt if it costed 20K lesser). The reviews of the vehicle in mouthshut excited me and I began dialling the dealers frantically. The dealers seem to have a protocol to follow. Both the dealers that I called asked my number saying that the sales rep is busy and will call me back. Thankfully they called back and scheduled a test drive for tomorrow lunch time at my office.
