Review : Bolero or the Smooth and slick beast. This one is not for some one who does not like the jeep looks.This is pure Jeep lover’s Delight. People crib about it being noisy and having hinges outside and all but guys ... for God’s sake- Its a Jeep variant. It does not say that its a refined car. All the punch line for Bolero says is Looks of a Jeep and Drives like a car.
I have driven this beast for some time now and have found that it delivers what it promises nothing more nothing less. Only problem I had while adjusting from a petrol car to Bolero was - It peaks too soon may be 500 RPM too soon. Once its on the 5th gear driving is a dream. It urges you to change gears soon and jumps forward when driven well. The AC is a big yes. It not only cools but chills too. All in all its a pleasure to drive BUT you have to be a jeep lover. Its not for weak hearted car lovers or any one who loves to see beauty in sleek designs and curves.
Its a tough and Rough vehicle and likes it when the driver drives it well. Plus point- Value for Money power steering is good power windows work Keyless entry is intelligent as in - it opens only the driver side door when you press the key the first time and then when it is pressed second time all the doors open. And a minor plus- People look twice at you when you drive a bolero first at the beast and then at the master.
Now to the minus points-
Steering wheel a tad bigger than necessary
Back seats could use a bit more foam
Door closed indicator should be a bit more sensitive.
The cabin lights do not come on when the rear door open’s.
