Hi, in the last week of dec-2010, i drove my uncle’s Xylo to south and Goa, we traveled from Kolhapur to Shimoga to Jog Falls to Karwar to Goa to Kolhapur.
It was about 1300 kms.And the vehicle before that was run only for 2000 kms.My experience with this vehicle was worst with regards to 3 aspects.
1.Mileage is only 11 kms (company claimed was around 14 to 15kms).
2.Very hard gear shifting especially for 3rd gear shifting with vibration to hand.
3.Not so exciting pick-up when driving in 3rd to 5th gear with no substantial difference for 4th and 5th gear.Further door open switches at inner side of door are typical to Indian manufacture.
No boot space for keeping luggage. 2nd row seat is very awkward and not so easy to fold and unfold when required, making it very horrible experience for last row passengers.
So all all not meeting the expectation if you want to have that pleasure go for either TATA SAFARI or HONDA CRV or TOYOTA INNOVA.
