I am happy to be a xylo owner since 4 days. the vehicle has alreadydone 700kms quite efficiently I must say. the performance and handlinghave been extremely satisfying. the realiability of the various systemsin the vehicle have been good. on the whole the owner ship experiencehas been very satisfactory. however there are numerous issues thatwould put you off.1. the music system is garbage.
the claim for adjustable seat with lumbar support is junksince the adjustment is only token and does not provide any tangiablebenefits. however the seat is more comfortable from any other withoutthese so called adjustments.3. the quality of plastics is terrible. the finish is unworthyof even a goods carrier. it is so disappointing that a fledging nationlike ours and its leading manufacturer cannot ensure quality ofsomething as rudimentary as plastic.
therefore the only add on of any consequence in the E8version is the alloy wheels. all the rest can be avoided. that shouldreduce the ownership costs further.5. the mileage is excellent with an average of 14kmpl on highway in these 4 days.
I suspect that I would be having problems with the dealerin terms of serviceing and warranty since they dont come accross asbeing particularly honest in their dealings. time will tell.7. one of the most disappointing aspects of the vehicle is thevery poor AC system. it is effective only in recirculation mode.therefore for some comfort from the heat, you would be breathing staleair.
to conclude, as was said in some other review, it is a goodbuy for some one who cannot afford any other higher end. however incomparison to a innova, this vehicle holds its own in terms of overallownership experiencehappy hunting
