I had purchased Rodeo in May-2010.
I was not expecting Mahindra to give such a poor performance. the average is pathetic, the ground clearance is very low and it vibrates making it unstable/dis-balance always brings the fear of falling. The servicing is very poor. I have changed 3 service centers and now travel 50km to give it to a less bad servicing station.
The positives for me are, excellent pick-up, you can touch 80km/hr in 10 secs, its light weight and you can refuel without getting down and larger boot space.
