Mahindra Verito D6 (First report)

The Verito has also found itself a fan in my six-year-old daughter Anaia, who loves that the music system has a remote control. She gets in, takes command of the remote, and the rest of any journey with her is spent listening to what she likes to hear. Over and over again sometimes. The light grey fabric seats give a bright and lively feel to the interiors. Having said that, the fabric stains quite easily and also collects hair, fibres from clothes and dust. I’m now thinking of getting an interior shampooing done to get it to look like new. Then again, an all-black interior would heat up like crazy too. Maybe I’ll try red interiors next time.

I recently gave the car in for its second free service to Mahindra’s Milestone authorised service centre.  It so happens that the workshop is only a 10-minute walk from the  office, so it’s really easy for me to drop it off, walk to work and then pick it up in the evening when the service is done. For the second free service, all the filters were replaced and the Verito got fresh engine oil as per the service manual. The whole lot only amounted to Rs 3,366 minus the labour costs, which I thought was surprisingly wallet friendly.

It has not given me any other trouble so far, and I hope it stays that way. Till the next report then.
